Daniel,
You have said here you know those slanders are slanders.
You need more than that?
Proven falsehoods -- what's the use of circulating that? Except for John Algeo to put HPB at the same moral level as Leadbeater, as a political tactics to avoid Adyar Theosophists from getting to real Theosophy and going beyond Leadbeater's political-power structure?
I am confident you can see my point and will deepen your improvement in attitude.
(Note that Ms. Radha did not approve of those dirty tactics.)
Carlos.
