An issue came up in a previous thread:

but indeed:

It is worth indicating that it's hard not to perceive Baha'i members taking every opportunity to mention, promote, and quote Baha'i writings in any thread they are involved in. In effect, that the purpose of Baha'i members here is missionary.
It's also worth relating my recent comment on the post inviting poeple to learn about the Baha'i Faith.
Please note that if any person of any religions does that about the general CR boards, then it is seen as proselytising and is not acceptable - please note that the Baha'i faith and its members are not immune from that.
This is an issue that has been bubbling under the surface for some time, and really needs addressing so that Baha'i members ensure that their posting is not above the restrictions placed upon every other member here.
Any questions, feel free to ask.

Arthra said:I think this thread began with a "song" and is becoming another area of dispute about Baha'i Faith... Somehow this seems awry to me and just a repeat of some past discussions. Been there ...done that.
but indeed:
From my view this is because Baha'is on this forum repeatedly hold the Baha'i Faith up as superior to other religions with respect to x, y, z (rational rather than superstitious, in harmony with science, no dogma, no prosyletizing, no ritual, no discrimination due to gender, no ruling clergy, no paternalism, no schism, etc.), and yet in reality there are exceptions to each of claims.
