On Baha'is and the Internet: Availing themselves of its potential

I came across this quote again which says it all, constituting great guidance for Baha'is. -gw
 
It is useful to bear in mind that the Internet is a reflection of the world around us, and we find in its infinitude of pages the same competing forces of integration and disintegration that characterize the tumult in which humanity is caught up. In their use of the Internet, Bahá’ís should stand aloof from the negative forces operating within it, availing themselves of its potential to spread the Word of God and to inspire and uplift others, while ignoring any negative reactions their efforts may from time to time elicit.
 
From a letter dated 9 April 2008 written on behalf of the Universal House of Justice to an individual.
