Not all leaders of seperated groups showed hatred. But many members
of these groups did. If you simply read messages of members of
seperated groups, in Theos-talk archive, you will find large number
of messages filled with hatred towards Adyar TS and it's leaders.
And most of them are students of Blavatsky's writing !!!
Best regards.
