I'm not comfortable about this[]

I know this isn't Wikipedia and |'m not usually bothered about references on Wikia but here is an article that says very critical things about a living person and doesn't back them up. The references are a link to a blog that's been deleted and one that seems to be referring to a now deleted comment on another website. If there has been criticism of the organization and the woman who runs it, surely there are better references than that, Simon Peter Hughes 05:11, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, if you look at the history of this page, there has been quite a bit of extreme, critical and unsubstantiated statements, mostly by anonymous posters. I disagree with things that are said on the group's official site. It is a site that posts one point of view -- a fairly ultra orthodox one that denies the legitimacy of other branches of Judaism, like the statement that, "All the attempts to invent new forms of Judaism, with all their enticing claims, have eventually failed." [1], 3rd paragraph under the title "Conversion to Judaism". But we don't exclude information about Jewish organizations because we disagree with them. The only other sites I could find about it, were either full of anti-orthodox comments or minor comments about using it to convert -- neither were useful critiques. So, I've removed the "references", but left the comment that it's controversial... as the various spam and other sites do indicate. If someone else can find a substantiated critique, good or bad, it would be welcome, but I'd rather not have this site be a place that accepts unsubstantiated rumors, name calling or nasty remarks that are not backed up. -- CocoaZen 06:36, May 13, 2011 (UTC)
As usual, I couldn't agree more. --Simon Peter Hughes 12:18, May 13, 2011 (UTC)
