David, 

You wrote to Nigel:

"It is not that simple a choice between a black 
CWL and a white HPB. I nearly left Theosophy when 
I found out about the fake master's letters under 
HPB. Her followers like CWL's followers say nothing 
was ever proven against either her or him. But like 
the Abu Graib(sp?) prison scandal, there is such a 
thing as command responsibilities and in CWL's case, 
the appearance of impropriety. Neither comes out 
very well. Fortunately my adherence is to mysticism 
and I stayed. You seem to be stacking the deck."

David, if you believe in "fake master's letters 
under HPB" why not also "fake masters" .... period?
