interesting old article about identifying cults.
http://www.straightblastgym.com/bite.htm

I found it interesting because I was reading another thread about global warming and one participant stated that he had a lot of issues trusting global warming proponents (i.e. Gore).

Quote: "When Al Gore inisted that "the debate is over", and that everyone needed to stop disagreeing with him, or when a columnist declared that "global warming deniers are now on a par with Holocaust deniers", trying to undercut anyone who disagrees by pinning a scarlet letter on their chest, your eyebrows should have raised."

That made me think about identifying cults and thus the BITE method.

No, the purpose of this thread is not to debate the merits of global warming.

With the BITE method in the back of my head, a LOT of things are cultish.
