Dear Sherry:

I understand how you feel. 

Based on my past experience over several years on various theos- lists, it
is very rare to find posters who deal with the kind of remarks you cite. 

Very rarely when they do come to the list, in due course some incident
triggers their disappearance on their own. 

All that is needed is a little patience and thick skin. 

I have personally come to "know" a lot of theosophists from these lists who
are very serious, caring individuals and please stick around and you
yourself will find this is true.
