I've been thinking a lot about a series of posts in the "Baha'i Views" blog, promoting and extrapolating Moojan Momen's "marginal" and "apostate" stereotypes. I saw one statement about unenrolled Baha'is as blatantly false. An entire post was devoted to the idea that "unenrolled" means "expelled," "for reasons of behavior following a long process in which they were invited to change their behavior." I posted a polite comment explaining that only three unenrolled Baha'is had been expelled, and he deleted it without comment.

That gave me a lot of food for thought. After a few hours of intense churning in my mind, I came up with the idea of my "Deeds, Not Words" Web site, in which the first topic would be the "apostate" posts in the "Baha'i Views" blog.

After a while I decided I would need some kind of archives for articles that might not stay permanently on the Web site. I had already started this blog some time ago to discuss my experiments with reducing abuse in Internet discussions, so I renamed it to use for my "Deeds, Not Words" articles.
