	The use of the capital "T" in "Teacher" goes WAY beyond respect, and 
into worship. He has stated that we shouldn't be allowed to say anything 
bad about Blavatsky, or repeat anything bad, even if the purpose is to 
refute this. We should just bury the past. But the past exists. To deny 
the past is to deny truth. And Blavatsky was far from perfect. Even the 
Mahatmas said so, although the also said that they, themselves, were not 
perfect either.

	Of course, anybody who denies that the Holocaust took place isn't 
interested in historical truth, anyway, only their own hatred.

	I never said anything even remotely resembling that, and I defy you to 
find where I did.
