I also wonder if people such as Koot
Humi and Moreya (sp?) used "m/Master" in
reference to themselves or others and
how they might've reacted to being
called "m/Master."

Yeah but what if the person who used the
word "idiot" didn't think of themself as
a "master," to begin with, and ... I
mean, seems to me that if somebody
professes to set themself up as a
"master," in some esotericy sense, (ie,
as if esoterics could be literalized and
as if interpretive/karmic tendencies
could be magically side stepped as long
as certain words---like "master"---are
used along the way ...) ... so seems to
me that if somebody tried to set
themself up as a "master," in some
sense, then that person might want to
edit their language in a way that might
be seen to be in keeping with whatever
"masterly impression" they might want to
convey, but if KH didn't think of
himself as a "master to anybody," to
begin with ... Or can somebody refer me
to a passage where KH or M is shown to
say something like: "I am the master and
you are the idiot"? The interpretation
that "he as much as said it or implied
it" is, in my mumble speculative
ipinion, (or humble speculative opinion
...), really up for grabs
inasmuchasif/where (note qualifier/s
...) certain "case
particulars/esoterics" might be seen to
be dependent on interpretive preferences ...
<<as it is the arrogance of attitude

I suppose there are various
interpretations for the word "idiot" in
that particular case/context, whatever
that might've been seen to be more
specifically. I wonder who that letter
might've been addressed to.
Speculatively,
