Theos-Talk Archives (June 2006 Message tt00051)

Carlos A,

Ha ha... Your pointless, many times belligerent and personally denigrating, 
mailbox cluttering blabber, apparently attempting to dominate every topic in 
this forum, is much more of a waste of time for many of us.   

On the other hand, my time is never wasted if it offers useful information... 
Or, helps "other" serious students of theosophy see how their time is wasted 
by those who insist they are always right, can't stand being contradicted or 
exposed, never seem to practice what they preach, and always do whatever they 
are accusing others of doing.   

Leonardo

P.S. if you don't wish to add oil to the fire, I suggest you just ignore this 
letter. ;-)
