Carlos, this is a new low. Now you want us to judge CWL's works on
the basis of HPB's personal likes and dislikes. This is even lamer
than your earlier attempts at nit-picking differences between his
writings and your dogma, then ridiculing his writings on Mars and
later questioning his methods.
Your very statement about 'hypocrites' and 'false courtesy'
disregards the Master's advice not to throw slurs or denounce
another theosophist.
As for your toilet humor, a permutation of your initials gives CAC
which means something unpleasant in certain languages (I couldn't
bring myself to use it in a subject line).
If you have something to say about CWL and his works, please do so
once and for all and move on to something else (or you could write a
book, if you can cobble together enough insinuations). We really do
not need this daily dose of CAC.
Regards,
Dave
