Theos-Talk Archives (September 2002 Message tt00017)

Hi Sufi,

Sorry if you took "all our time" to include your time. All it meant to me 
was reference to all the time wasted by those of us arguing with illogical 
anti-theosophists with personal axes to grind, and who use specious 
propaganda techniques to prove their points. Patience has nothing to do with 
it. Of course, if you learn something new about theosophy based on our 
counter arguments with such muddle headed theosophy haters, and "possibly 
benefit" -- I would think you could consider yourself as one of those 
(hard-core) "theosophists" referred to in the first part of my sentence, 
rather than those of us whose time is wasted arguing with fools. (But, then, 
how else are we to ferret out and expose "dugpas" or their agents in out 
midst? Sometimes, sacrifice is necessary ... So why should we complain? Oh 
well, we'll just have to bear our burden, put a smile on our face, call a 
spade a spade, and keep on with the work -- until they expose themselves. And 
then, we can all go back to interesting and useful theosophical discussion. 
:-)

Best wishes,

Leon
