I'll show you how hypocritical the BKs are, and explain the point I was pulling their leg on ...

This statement alone should sound alarm bells to anyone subscribed to his forum. If the Admin of a forum considers people to be "cowardly" just for using forum names, maybe he doesn't respect their privacy so much.
Simon was the BK who collaborated with the Hansa Raval in her personal legal action against this website designed at outing whichever individuals where behind it. They did not know and she or they want to target them personally, using the BKWSO charity as a front for personal legal action.
So, listening to Simon write about "respecting anonymity" is farcical. He also has a short memory because when the BK were conspiring to shut down this website, he and the inner circle discussing the response to this forum, received this email ...

Agree with Simon, but also one other major things is to do with talking to someone who is anonymous. In most places any complaints made by anonymous people are ignored - they have no real value and so we want to make thing real and work with real people.
But even putting this aside, our next response, if there is going to be one, has to make it clear that we are not interested in anything else except a personal meeting. As we can see on the forum they are having masses of discussion about this. They want us to continue with emails if not forum - but we cannot play ball with that one I don’t think.
Anyway, just some thoughts from me.

All this talk of "anonymity" they've copied from us ... because that was always our policy. See this topic, here; "
Why masks?. Their policy was and continues to be to expose and target individuals by keeping reports on them and snitching on them.
We have not "banned half the members". What we did do some years ago -
by popular demand - was split the forum creating one for BKs and PBKs who wished to continue discussion their philosophy, and prioritise this forum for ex-BK and those exiting the BKWSU. Ex- or exiting BKs did not want BKs pumping Gyan down their throat and we did not was sneaky BKs joining our forum preying on vulnerable individuals to encult them back into the BKWSU.
Initially, when the site was started it was hoped that we could accommodate everyone, and it was designed in that manner. Unfortunately, it became quickly clear that we could not, mainly because of endless and incredibly boring arguments of Indian BKs attacking PBKs. The PBKs, for the most part were very reasonable.
Yes, BKs are now only tolerated if they are willing to give something, rather than just take, but we don't actually ban them. We just make them have to agree to do so. Invariably they don't. They have no intention of giving. They only come here to disrupt things.
No BK, nor the BKWSU has ever given, donated or contributed anything to this website. No BK has every contributed any valuable facts, information or original materials ... but, on the other hand, they have taken our work and not credited us for it.
I'll explain, briefly, what happened in the Wikipedia.
I am a few others created a page which was highly informative, objectively accurate and well referenced about the
BKWSU. The BKWSU did not like it because, a) it exposed far too much, and b) many of the facts contradicted claims they make, (e.g. they still claim Lekhraj Kirpalani was born in 1976, when his birth certificate states 1884 and keep reverts the truth back to a falsehood! Lekhraj Kirpalani was not 60 when their God entered him). In short, the article laid out all the hard facts of BKism without the usual New Agey, "We are the United Nations" whitewash and soft sell.
A group of BKs arrived and attempted to turn it into an advert for their religion. Countless hours were wasted going back and forward in stupid fights and so, eventually, I proposed taking the matter to Mediation. They had a clear conflict of interest and an agenda to keep things covered up, vague and inline with BKWSU propaganda version.
They, specifically including BK Simon B, refused.
So I then attempted to resolve the problems by taking the matter to the next step up which is official Arbitration. They could not refuse that but they still refused to actually discussion the issues.
The matter went to arbitration and one of the results was that the IP (internet address) I was editing from was banned for one year (I think) was because I had pointed out on one of the BKs' talk page that he was committing a federal crime in the USA by using a work computer at a college to promote their religion. Such things are against law in the USA because of the separation between religion and the State.
It was an unusual decision. I was not banned, just the IP address.
Since then, particularly Simon but now also other BKs have attempted to control the article and bring it inline with their PR by investing hours and hours documenting every edit I made in a database and contriving one snitch after an other snitch reporting any editors they believed to be me ...
including some I know were not!!! ... in order to have me banned and excluded. Many of the snitches being highly contrived.
I know others here that got an "indefinite block" too ... but you should understand, an "indefinite block" is not the same as "banned". It just means a block, usually temporary, for indefinite reasons or time.
Again, I can dig out the exact quote from Simon that made it clear it had become very personal for him and he just did not want me editing on the Wikipedia at all. He has spent hours and hours contriving blocks and snitches.
Now, a group of BKs are keeping watch on the BKWSU topic, clearly conspiring together, clearly tutored in what to do and somewhat coordinated or inspired by their forum where the matter has a sub-forum of its own, generally sucking up to Wikipedia admins and using them in much the same was as they do in real life in India sucking up to policemen, judges and media people.
Just what this has to do with "spirituality", "divinity" and building a Golden Age of Truth ... you tell me.
When I first joined the ex-BK forum, I was like the rest of you. I just wanted somewhere where I could anonymously talk with other ex-BKs, and help each other get over what we went through. We have had many inspiring discussions and, of course, revolutionised people's understanding of the BKWSU ... even sincere and informed BKs.
A long time ago, a small group of us started this forum after the BKs, Hansa included I was told, shut down the previous ex-BK forum.
They tried to do the same to us but we fought back to defend ourselves and won. Hansa ... the BK center-in-charge who had left her infant child to join the BKs, married another BK to defraud the US immigration, had a bigamist relationship with him, attempt to defraud US immigration to bring other well paid Indian BK Brothers into the USA etc etc etc ... lost.
By exposing and targeting me personally, as they have done, they took my anonymity making it impossible for to discussion my ex-BKs issues and problems.
The BKs robbed me of, perhaps. 10 - 15 years with their lies, half-truths, false and failed predictions of the End of the World ... and then when an opportunity arose where I could discuss those feeling with others who had gone through them ... they robbed me of it again.
They are sick people suffering from some kind of psychopathic collective mental illness.
(
A psychopath is not a sadist or an Hollywood "axe murderer". It is someone who lacks empathy for others and remorse; someone disinhibited or bold in their behaviour, disdain of close attachments; someone who is willing to use mental cruelty to gain empowerment and exploit others).
Of course, some BKs may have psychopathic tendencies before joining the BKWSU but, clearly, all the cult beliefs of the BKWSU, along with the narcissistic re-writes and revisions, are a type of 'folie a plusieurs' dating back to the Om Mandli era.
I hope this helps newcomers understand some of the dynamics. If any BK has evidence of me "attacking" individuals, please publish it. As usually, they make vague discrediting accusation without substance.
I cannot tell you how many lies, smites and personal attacks I have had from supposedly "divine" BKs.
