Not so.  They're still mostly intact on the key points.

I mentioned "references" and "external links" and (as of writing) these are
still almost entirely dominated by "notorious apologists for Aristide".
The ones Kondrat mentions are in another section, the "reference
footnotes".  And Paul Farmer counts as a "notorious apologist", whether he
writes in the London Review of Books or not.

We've seen their mass descents on Corbettland at various times over the
past few years.  These are the people who've shown quasi-religious
"partisanship and hatred."  They're as pointless to talk to as the Taliban
or the US's own religious fanatics who are so dangerously represented at
the summit of a supposedly secular government.
