Hi Folks!!, I've stubified the article. The whole thing has been completly unsourced as far as I see since it was created and that is not ideal in a mainspace article. As a historical article it would be great if there was sources. Perhaps if somebody writes a book on the commune. That would be cool. However, unsourced content cannot remain in a mainspace article, even in a purely historical article So I've stubbed it. Lastly, less of the WP:NPA or personal vendettas. If see any more of that I'll take the editor(s) up to WP:ANI immediately. Wikipedia is not place for vendettas. scope_creep Talk 09:28, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
There seems to be enough coverage for an article on Michael Metelica. There seems to be quite a lot on his in gbooks. scope_creep Talk 09:38, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
This fear was reinforced toward the end of his tyranny by his connection with a notorious and violent biker gang. He had a pitbull and weapons. It wasn't until his heroin overdose and hospitalization that remaining members were able to get rid of him, finally. Mikalson ( talk) 18:57, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
Visitors and perspective members seeking spiritual enlightenment were often preyed upon by members who abused their power. Mikalson ( talk) 19:29, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
This article would be better and more factual if it mentioned that former children of the commune picketed the release of the commune documentary because of the abuse they suffered. The film was made by a former member. Mikalson ( talk) 01:35, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
This book was reviewed in the Greenfield recorder (Greenfield, Ma.) and I quote: "Some of the stories describe abuse of women, and even some children, by the commune men". Mikalson ( talk) 03:26, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
I respect their desire for privacy and perhaps they will one day make their stories public. That's up to them and what they feel is best for their healing. Mikalson ( talk) 03:40, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
Author here. No, they have not as I not only watch the site continuously but have posted entreaties for the members of this community to hold a group meeting to deal with these allegations so we can find the truth with those who were allegedly victimized. — Preceding
