Caldwell-Green-Hobbs -- A Fraud???

Dear Jerry, Dear Friends,
This is impressive. (See below)
It is true thast Paul did us all a great service, is he is right and Daniel
has been indeed making all these frauds and playing all these bad tricks at
the movement.
Having published a collection of obvious libels against HPB in his book
about her, I cannot be entirely surprised at that possibility.
Daniel Caldwell's significant silence since Paul made this possible
revelation only puts himself in a very difficult position with regard to the
theosophical movement. John Algeo, his sponsor, may also be seen under a
new light.
Yet I do not think that Paul Johnson took any risky step by doing that. He
did what was his moral and ethical duty to do.
Daniel is in a most difficult position, not Paul. What "huge personal risk"
are you talking about? Who is at risk, except Daniel?
No reason to stimulate fear. Fear and hatred both open ways to unkind
elementals. Confidence, courage, calm, mutual help, these are some
important things for us.
I thank you very much for your frank help to us to find truth, and for not
letting this matter falling into oblivion.
And I would add something -- note the remarkable identity of viewpoiints
between Dave and Daniel.
One of these days we should write to John Algeo, or to call him by phone,
asking him for some help on this "mystery". Perhaps he could give us one or
two indications.
Best regards, Carlos.

Dear Ramadass, Friends,
One doesn't need a computer to analyze and identify patterns in written
discourse. Anyone who has taken a course in literary criticism and
analysis already has been taught the basic tools they need to do this on
their own.
Personally, I began to suspect that David Green and Daniel Caldwell were
the same persons shortly after Green entered the discussion group. My
suspicions were partially based upon my own analysis of these discourse
patterns. My suspicions were also based upon clues I had previously
picked up from dozens of phone conversations with Dan, email exchanges,
a four hour meeting my wife and I had with him in Tucson (years before
the incidents in question), and because of certain information he had
volunteered in confidence.
Paul Johnson did his own investigation and independently noted some of
the same patterns I had previously noticed, and made further matches to
the Hobbs material. Paul's independent analysis, along with the IP
evidence, has made, in my mind, a compelling case for the common
identity of the three personae. Further, Dan's defensive message a few
months ago, addressing the subject of pseudonyms, in my mind, pushed the
evidence beyond any reasonable doubt. Not because of what he
specifically wrote, but because of omissions and the way he modified
certain information which I also have first hand knowledge.
I remained silent on this matter because I anticipated that if I spoke
up, my doing so would merely draw ridicule, accusations concerning my
motive, and solve nothing. Accordingly, Paul Johnson, in stepping
forward with his evidence, took a huge personal risk in doing so.
Regardless of one's opinion concerning the Caldwell-Green-Hobbs identity
I feel that we need to recognize and appreciate the risk Paul had taken
by coming forward.
May I also add that while Dan's guilt or innocence is unprovable in any
absolute sense of the term, this situation is an apt warning that we
would do well to give serious thought to what can be done in order to
make this discussion board a productive and progressive one for the
advancement and deepening of our common interest in Theosophy and the
Theosophical Movement. My hope is that theos-talk becomes a place where
we all may better exchange knowledge and insights in an atmosphere of
respect, and where all participants may feel safe in doing so.
Best Wishes,
Jerry
