Hal Blacker Probe Blocked by WE Blog

Our last post WE Blog Re-Opens Commenting (and Censorship?) attracted some interesting comments (along with the usual ton of attack jibes by one pro- What-Enlightenment blog supporter which we spared you the injustice of scrolling through screen loads of.)

The comment came from Vince The Prince who said on November 09, 2005 that What-Enlightenment blog had posted his comment and then deleted it. This tends to confirm our prediction that WE blog would be reinstating their harsh censorship policy upon WE commentators. In fact, it took just 7 days for the true nature of WE's faceless editors to be revealed after our editorial post on November 02, 2005.

We have always maintained that WE blog's claim to be interested in dialogue with Cohen and his followers is faux. Furthermore, we suspect that WE blog exists only to heap extreme negativity upon the Cohen community as a prelude to a potentially lucrative legal class act ($$$).

It is entirely relevant that Vince noted the legal language of Helene, WE blog's editor, who supported and "parsed" a poster who made little sense of an earlier poster who made even less sense. We know that Helene does not normally post "her" own comments. So it is entirely reasonable to ask why she would rescue the previous convoluted poster?

We suspect that Helene is actually Hal Blacker, the second listed WE editor.

However, Hal has never admitted this even though it costs him nothing to reveal it. Indeed, Hal stands to lose more by keeping quiet about it. The only reason why Hal would keep it hidden is to appear to have a additional supporter, instead of it being generally known that Hal Blacker is the sole-architect of WE blog.

So, what was so shocking about Vince's posts that WE blog, which claims to be "uncensored", had to censor? Well nothing really unless you are a WE editor and/or Hal Blacker with something to hide.

OK, over to Vince and let us see what got him booted off of WE blog:

The last three comments appear to come from three different posters but
look deeper - look beyond the veils...

"Caution Cult Members On The Track" - better argued then the other angry anonymous posters

"Anonymous said..."- argues like a real lawyer. Who else could keep up with all the twists and turns of Daniel and Brian's discussion? (well, ok, Daniel failed to return to the debate even though Brian was quite provocative).

Helene - Only Helene could follow - ' "anonymous" does a really great job parsing stillanego's presumptions'

Hmmm... me thinks are the last 3 posters the same person? Hal Blacker, this blogs editor is a lawyer. "Helene" seems to be Hal's posting name.
And more - me wonders why start posting about Adi Da anyway? No news on Cohen?
Trying to attract new readers?

Or was Hal fomerly with Adi Da and trying to kill two birds with one stone?

WE Blog Re-Opens Commenting (and Censorship?)

WHAT enlightenment??! blog (WE) the self-titled and supposedly "uncensored look at self-styled "guru" Andrew Cohen" re-opened it's commenting on 22 October, 2005 with this great comment

Hey, great article, and thanks for opening back up for anonymous comments.


It remains to be seen how long commenting will stay open. There had been a complete shut down at WE blog for many months - no posts - no comments - no explanations nada. We thought maybe the editor had had a nervous breakdown.

Meanwhile we at WHAT Enlightenment Uncensored $$$ have kept commenting open all of the time.

But we had to put many abusive comments in the Uncensored Bin $$$ - which is publicly viewable because we don't want to censor anything.

We hope that WE blog's newly revived "anonymous commenting" policy is not a cynical PR stunt to reviving flagging readership numbers.

We would therefore expect that they will be lenient on posters who are perceived and pre-judged as critical. Many WHAT Enlightenment Uncensored $$$ posters have so far found that they could not air their valid points on WE blog.

Such censorship is antithetical to blog culture and we ask WE to honor their promise of offering "an uncensored look at self-styled "guru" Andrew Cohen"
