Why all the hatred negativity criticism & attacks

Why all the hatred, negativity, criticism & attacks on Adi Da, Adidam and Devotees??

A quick look around the Internet, using any search related to Adi Da or Adidam will yield a large volume of websites and or posts and articles varying from mildly critical or ignorant (this is fine and to be expected) to venomous, malicious and displaying degrees of hatred (these are not fine and are completely unreasonable on any level) Adidam websites mention nothing about it, nor does any media associated with Adidam address, or acknowledge this Internet phenomena

A lot could be said about this, but on a very simple human level, the simple fact is, it is a purely mechanical dynamic — the more positive comment, websites, articles  released on the Internet about Adi Da Samraj and Adidam– the more negative, hostile, critical or hateful ones follow

Why is this? –simple- it infuriates critics and disaffected ex-members and various philosophically invested groups to see Adi Da and Adidam praised and displayed in a positive benign light. It is simply knee jerk reactivity, and there is a large degree of pathos, suffering and foolishness in it as well. It is a given– by every bit of behavioral wisdom on this planet, that no happiness, healing or resolution comes from such behavior

Some, negatively obsessed individuals are driven, compulsively and addictively to denigrate anything (or anyone) that displays balance, or speaks of (in particular) benign qualities associated with Adi Da, Adidam or his devotees, such people have made it central to their lives, they are the opposite of devotees in a way. No matter how cool and reasonable their arguments seem to be, their hostility and vilification is not reasonable, it is an addictive process, so that is why I believe these attacks will increase in volume and ferocity as devotees of Adi Da Samraj become more active on the Internet.
