Dear Thoa Thi-Kim

I too exhausted and distressed by this correspondence.

But, please, please, in the name of Humanity and Brotherhood, don't even
think of suggest such vindictive, retaliatory measures; "You should save
yourself the trouble and e-mail Daniel a virus.  Or you can take the
Monty Python's concise way and say "I fart in your general direction!!!"
That expresses everything in one sentence!  None of that paragraph
thingy."

We students of theosophy have occasions such a this in which to put into
our practice our teachings, if we fail we cannot but find these same
sentiments writ large in the affairs of nation and international
character.  We are the ones to try and make a difference, we have to try
and not allow our own minds to become polluted, and if occupied by the
controversy. we have to devise ways and means to clean up the pollution
which has been transferred into us, first.  If we are successful, then
having changed our attitude, we will see these things as the playthings
of childish children--I am aware they will not like this remark. If I
get rejoineders on this score, I shall practice the virtue of SILENCE, a
form of non-aggression, and non-combativeness or Ahimsa.

I implore you most sincerely do not go any further in this matter.
