H.P. Blavatsky wrote:

"In England people seem to like fair play on the whole. 
. . . Open your columns to free and fearless discussion, 
and do as the theosophical periodicals have ever done, 
and as LUCIFER is now preparing to do. The 'bright Son 
of the morning' fears no light. He courts it, and is 
prepared to publish any inimical contributions (couched, 
of course, in decent language), however much at variance 
with his theosophical views. He is determined to give a 
fair hearing in any and every case, to both contending 
parties and allow things and thoughts to be judged on 
their respective merits. For why, or what should one dread 
when fact and truth are one's only aim? . . . . 
why should Agnostics and searchers after truth in general, help 
bigoted and narrow-minded materialists, sectarians and dogmatists to 
HIDE our light under a bushel BY MERE BRUTAL FORCE and usurped 
authority? . . . ." Caps added.
