   I doubt haunted is the right word. Admittedly, I don’t know many Baha’is,   
   but I know perhaps a dozen(?) in the real world, and am connected to a few on   
   social media, and none have ever given me the impression they are even aware   
   of Nima’s    
   perspective on the Bab, much less feel haunted by it.   
      
   Now, you might think you have s strong argument —I cannot comment on its   
   veracity— but consider this analogy: there are all sorts of persons in   
   obscure corners of the internet who believe they have definitive arguments   
   against the Christian Faith.    
   Whatever the veracity of those arguments might be, most Christians are unaware   
   of those arguments, and thus not bothered by them. The same seems to be the   
   case with most Baha’is and Nima’s obscure arguments.   
      
   A bad sign in this regard is the fact that Nima feels the need to overinflate   
   the Baha’i response to him, constantly accusing non-Baha’is of either   
   being crypto-Baha’is or working for the Baha’is. If there actually was   
   widespread concern about    
   Nima, he would have to invent Baha’i conspirators for his infantile online   
   beefs.
