I didn’t justify the abusive behaviours described by the BITE model. In fact I was very clear that I disliked those behaviours, and their association with an important religious term. You should work on your reading comprehension so you can stop seeing enemies everywhere.
I apologize for misunderstanding. Can you provide a source or reasoning why you think the BITE classification itself was intended to make “cult” a bad word?
Yes, because controlling a group’s behavior, information access, thoughts, and emotions is completely acceptable. Autonomy be damned.

That’s an interesting and informative response. I’ll be sure to preface “cult” with “abusive cult” next time. Thanks!
