Theos-Talk Archives (May 2005 Message tt00197)

Friend Pedro, 

There are many wrong behaviours here, not only the ones who attack points of views, but also ones who attack persons, not to forget also the ones who undoubtly provoke controversial discussions without basis, all of us have our own bit of guilt.
Expecting not to be unpolite I also have to say that you are brasilian likeme, and you should be aware the expression "One day you´ll die" doesn´t mean "I want you to die". 
In portuguese a sentense like <<no dia em que você morrer verá que ascoisas não são bem assim">> for example, doesn´t mean " Quero que você morra e veja que as coisas não são assim ".
It was no irony, although I confess it was somewhat unkind of me due to theemotional circumstances we were all under when having that type of statements about HPB.

Yes, I was also referring to your post. I think that neither Anand nor 
anyone on this list deserves that kind of treatment, even if meant as 
an irony. 

I may be wrong here, but having read a number of articles by HPB, both 
in "The Theosophist" as well as in "Lucifer", I never came accross 
instances of personal attacks by her against her opponents, although 
she could at times savage their VIEWS, whenever she found necessary to 
do so.
