Seems to me that, in monadic terms 
(looking at the broader time scale in 
monadic evolution), humans in general 
are still rather childish. And so 
surely all students of Thesophy know 
better than to get snookered into taking 
things too one-sidedly, even when they 
might occasionally seem to get somewhat 
dogmatic, argumentative and emotionally 
involved ... In my HSO, it might 
occasionally be better to vent one's 
concerns (especially after having given 
them some thought, maybe ...) than to 
put up a false front in the interest of 
not rocking some boat that ... might not 
always be the boat one might've thought 
it was (if, as in theosophical studies, 
reading between one's boats and lines 
might be somewhat relevant ...). And as 
we all know, since all students of 
Theosophy are beyond getting too 
emotionally involved over anything at 
all (eh ...), how could any of them 
possibly get upset over anybody's 
comments, no matter how apparently 
disparaging those comments might appear 
to be, per whatever interpretive/karmic 
tendency ... So what could possibly 
amount to anything more than a minor, 
mayavic snag or speed bump, basically, 
at any time in the life of a student of 
Theosophy ... Beyond me!
