If anything, he is simply putting this material up as presumably he has noticed that there is a severe disinclination amongst those who would call themselves witches to actually get off their butts, do some research, and find these things out for themselves. After all, sounds a bit too much like hard work doesn't it?

I took an introductory logic class once and we discussed alot about the art of arguing. Generally speaking when a person attacks another or a group of others even a catagory of others, they are doing so as they were the authority of their subject and attempt to get people to see others as such. Such accusations are actually called maxims ad hominem - a biggy for politicians in those capaigne commercials. Its actually a very piss poor way to sway people of any intelligence. Which scares me because a lot of research has gone into those campaign adds and the studies show that what they do is actualy very affective for getting votes. In this case it tells me this guy is probably some amature "witch" trying to make money or find a power trip or something like that.
