Konstantin and his comments about Gregory Tillett

Konstantin,
You write:
"It seems that most of your evidences are based on the words of one
man, G. Tillet, exactly as a report against HPB was based on the
words of one man, Hodgeson. And now most of the world takes it for a
face value."
What are you suggesting here? That Gregory Tillett has somehow
distorted or "faked" these evidences/records??
If you are suggesting this, consider the following:
In the 23 years since THE ELDER BROTHER by Tillett was published, no
one has shown that Tillett has distorted or faked any of the records
we have been discussing.
These records are available and copies of them can be obtained from
the proper officials.
If you are serious in your above statement, then you should
investigate this [Step 3 in the 4 step process] and obtain copies of
these documents that would either verify or falsify your speculative
claim.
If you find that Tillett has faked or distorted these documents, you
could make quite a name for yourself, at least in Theosophical
circles, by publishing your finding in THEOSOPHICAL HISTORY and/or
THE THEOSOPHIST. You could even send the evidence to Dr. Tillett's
University and "expose" him.
But as far as I know, all documents are genuine and Tillett has done
nothing but discover them and make the facts known.
You comment:
"Modern technology enables to prepare any 'facsimile'."
What are you suggesting here? That the documents should be produced
in facsimile and published? Or that with modern technology supposed
"facsimiles" could be doctored?
You also write:
"Browsing through the internet I've found that mr Tillet made a good
business exposing Leadbeater."
What are you suggesting here? That Dr. Tillett has made money or
fame in this "good business of exposing Leadbeater" and therefore we
should suspect base motives on his part? Just what are you getting
at? "Exposing Leadbeater"? Or has Tillett only been searching for
the truth about Mr. Leadbeater and trying to set the record straight?
You also comment:
"Note that when this source shall be exhausted, he probably may
proceed to HPB ;)"
So? Let him proceed to HPB. Good for him. What are you suggesting
by this comment?
I view your remarks as "ad hominem" in nature and am somewhat
surprised that you would even write them.
Daniel
