Beekeeper tried to post this but for some reason the forum isn't allowing her in again.

As if Wiki wasn't bad enough before. For a few years now there are "guerilla skeptics" editing everything paranormal after their liking.

From an author whose book about pseudo-skeptics I recommend strongly:

many more links on this topic are possible since a heated discussion is going on for a few months now at least in the US it seems

Control; Agendas; Big Internet (Brother). 1984. Free thinkers continue to be oppressed. What hope is there for us?

No. We are continually being reduced to the element of lead where the elite ever-more increase the gold that they claim. To squash an intellectual's scientific revelation for some 'moral' or political agenda is not FREEDOM. There are many of us, free thinkers, and we should mount some sort of resistance to which this lowest-common-denominator of democracy, in practice, extols.

I see it as history repeating itself. Religion did it and now Science becomes like the new religion in this respect. Still we progress and the truth will out.
