The Baha'i Studies Listserv I don't really enjoy Islam-Bahai polemics either but if someone says something which seems disparaging, it is hard to let it by without comment. Maybe if the group could agree to a clear set of guidelines for conduct (no personal attacks, content should be relevant to the Bahai faith, etc.) that might make things better.
