Baha'i Censorship & Soc.Religion.Bahai
Apparently, defunct as of October, 2010. See https://groups.google.com/group/soc.religion.bahai/topics?hl=en&lnk=rgh
It's not clear why the Haifans pulled the plug on soc.religion.bahai after more than a dozen years online. It's archives, however, especially the early years, suggests how fanatical Haifan Baha'is can be, which becomes all the clearer when compared to the archives for talk.religion.bahai from its creation in 1997 onward. https://groups.google.com/group/talk.religion.bahai/topics

Since the the moderators of soc.religion.bahai banned any
messages from me that contain my signature
file (May 25, 1998) pointing to this web site, I have been
directly emailing every new poster to srb.
Several have emailed me back: srb
posters express thanks
Prior to 1998, there were at least thirty to forty other
messages posted to alt.religion.bahai, by people other than
myself, stating that they believed they had been censored by srb, often
with accompanying evidence. Since I've lost track of those messages among the massive 30,000+ postings, I'd appreciate it if
people would forward me copies of them should anyone stumble upon them or have a copy.
For what Bahais call "hikmat" or wisdom or
dissimulation, see Susan Maneck's :"Wisdom and
Dissimulation: The Use and Meaning of Hikmat in the Baha'i
Writings and History."
For a Muslim perspective on Bahai dissimulation, see Amir
Butler on ""Taqaiya"
