Yes I remember now reading that it was Celeste who recanted her position ............ and who knows, but I would say given the circumstances, she was probably bullied into "getting off her position." Celeste was probably the most accessible and intimidated the easiest, all along with I think being the youngest. Again, bully the weakest not the strongest, that's the way of it in these situations, with these groups, with these gurus. A fly on the wall probably could have verified some blame the victim, I'm sure that would've been in the mix; par for the course.That's curious about the editing surrounding the online episode, as the version that I watched when I followed the link you posted was the first time I've seen this piece, I have no basis for comparison.

What do you mean, what editing? What differences were there?

It does seem that there's been a bit of censorship of the episode online for as yet unknown reasons and motivations.

You said censorship ............ that's what I was referring to when I said editing. Obviously not the same thing. My mistake.

Ah okay, yeah I agree there's lots of rampant censorship online related to this issue, hopefully it won't be as bad on the Internet in the future. At least it's good there's organizations like Chilling Effects ( [www.chillingeffects.org] ) out there so we know when that censorship has had literal "chilling effects" on free speech online.
