Ignoring history and attacking "heretical" authors

Hey Katinka and everyone,

After reading your remark to Perry that my main complaint was being 
ignored, I was perplexed but was leaving work and waited until this 
morning to comment. How in the world can someone who had complained 
about being vilified, cyberstalked, insulted, misrepresented, etc. 
be construed as mainly upset about being ignored? Anyone would 
prefer being ignored to being repeatedly attacked by members of a 
movement to which he'd devoted two decades of his life.

Then I realized where you got the idea-- my complaint that the 
entire question of the Masters as historical beings has been 
ignored, for a decade now. Even if I did as piss poor a job of 
presenting and explaining the evidence as some claim, that evidence 
itself still cries out for attention-- which it has gotten from non-
TS sources to a satisfying degree. I'm very glad that once the 
decision was made to ignore my research in the Adyar and Pasadena 
TSes, I was also ignored as an individual. 

Perry is right, I think, in giving up on the Adyar TS. But that is 
a tough call in light of the fact that the majority of members are 
far more theosophical in the true sense than the leadership is or 
has any interest in being. Does the Society have any chance of 
becoming what it was intended? I don't see any, but hope for you 
members' sake it can happen someday.

Cheers,

Paul
