Cut from intro paragraph:

... specialises in research about cultic groups and psychological manipulation.

Removed, because the article does not mention any of his research. He has condemned cults as manipulative, citing the research of others. But where is his own research? --Uncle Ed 19:16, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Please give me some time and I will add his research. Thanks. Smeelgova 19:52, 17 November 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Journal

cut:

, editor of the journal Cultic Studies Review.

No evidence that this is a peer-reviewed scientific journal. It's just a blog, near as I can tell. --Uncle Ed 19:20, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Most certainly not a "blog", it was around long before blogs existed. Numerous academics regularly publish in it. Off the top of my head I don't know if it has peer review, but does not have to in order to be classified as a "journal". Smeelgova 19:51, 17 November 2006 (UTC).

Okay, it's an online journal. Good catch, and have a great weekend! ^_^ --Uncle Ed 19:57, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, you too! Smeelgova 20:18, 17 November 2006 (UTC).
