Theos-Talk Archives (March 2005 Message tt00749)

Dear Doss and all,

Although "Green" appeared generally skeptical about Theosophical 
matters, his main target was ULT judging from his writings. I never 
thought anything of his motivation until one day when he got 
extremely snarky with some of the critics and would-be reformers of 
the American Section of the Adyar TS. That was so nasty that I 
posted this after he attacked a couple of listmembers:

Dear David Green,

Two displays of attitude in one day, on the same list, makes me
wonder where that attitude is coming from. I'm struck by how many
"sn***" words apply to that attitude shown to Jerry and now to
Richard: sneering, snotty, snippy, sniping. But where does this
come from? Who are you, whose interests are you trying to
defend in your attacks, in short, why are you acting this way?

Some comments:

OK, you're angry at Richard and contemptuous of ACT, I suppose.
Why? Why not come out from your sniper's position and speak up *for*
whatever it is you think you're defending by this display of
attitude?

Better yet-------

So this means you regard all questions raised by ACT
concerning TSA administration as silly? Just guessing.

No, David, it is absolutely not possible. There are far
too many people, Theosophists and not, who have noticed
and commented upon this same CF for it to be a "mere projection"
of Richard's. Call it a mere projection of all the hundreds
or thousands who have experienced it, if you must, but you
can't blame it solely on him.

Here appears to be a gratuitous sneer at Jerry,
whose position you don't seem to have tried
to explore and understand before dismissing
and dissing it. Wasn't once enough?

Why is it easier and more fun for you to
behave this way than to drop the snotty
posturing and engage in constructive,
respectful dialogue?

WHERE ARE YOU COMING FROM?

There was of course no reply. Here is the archive with the previous 
relevant posts:
http://theos-talk.com/archives/199804/

which are dated April 23, 1998. Green vanished from theos-talk for 
three weeks at that point, and after he returned in mid-May did not 
get noticeably snarky until this one:

http://theos-talk.com/archives/199808/tt00044.html

in which he implicitly claims to be Australian.

That's enough reviewing of unpleasant history, but a couple of 
points about Green. He was/is obsessed with dissing variant 
Theosophical lineages especially ULT, but also CUT, but never had a 
negative word to say about Adyar/Wheaton. If Green is a pseudonym, 
this suggests that the individual was/is a Wheaton loyalist, 
strongly anti-ULT, but wanting to "throw the rock and hide your 
hand"-- that is not be held responsible. Must have had some 
political reason for not wanting to offend ULTers.

When did he finally disappear from theos-talk?
