Thou Shalt be Deleted

Yesterday we reported that HHI had changed a destination page on their website from a link we provided that led readers to some banter between Doc and Solomon (which appears to have gone permanently missing, hmmmm). What was put in it's place was a rather harmless-looking membership login box.

But, take a look at this screen capture from their website:

The nitwits were actually dumb enough to reveal the source path for this "login box."

So, if you're masochistic enough to be an HHI member, and you logged in to read the exchange, your membership would have been deleted and your ability to view the website would have been permanently revoked. (The practice of banning IP addresses is common at HHI and has been reported to us by several readers. In fact, their website administrator once bragged that he had deleted over 200 memberships in a scattershot campaign to try to rid HHI of those pesky critics and skeptics.)

This illustrates perfectly the warped mind-set of the HHI leadership. They are so threatened by an alternative viewpoint, and so committed to their true-believer cause in destroying Odyssey, that even a casual reader of this site could lose his or her ability to read what HHI was saying, and not only about Odyssey-related subjects, but a host of others as well. And all for daring to read another perspective about or criticism of HHI.

What's the next heavy-handed tactic? Burning books or inconvenient documents? Air-brushing out the photographic images of those who have fallen out of favor? (Sound familiar?)

The hypocrisy and narrow-mindedness of these people never ceases to amaze us.
