Theos-Talk Archives (November 2006 Message tt00497)

First, I give Carlos Aveline's statement:

=====================================================
Author Ernerst Pelletier, on the other hand, has published in FOHAT
that the texts in your [Caldwell's] websites are not reliable. He 
said why.  Remember?
=====================================================

Pay attention to Carlos Aveline's three words:

IN YOUR WEBSITES

Now read what Ernest Pelletier ACTUALLY wrote (see below the text as 
given by Aveline)---

=========================================================
"However, there are negative aspects to this book [Caldwell's book]
that need mention. There has been much silent editing done which 
renders the contents of this book impractical to quote from. While 
eliminating certain `irrelevant' portions of the text may not 
necessarily affect context, it is important to know (and from what I 
understand, it is also a legal requirement ? at least in Canada ? to 
indicate) where changes have been made to the original text. Silent 
editing sets a precedent which eventually will erode the authenticity 
of the whole theosophical literature. Knowing this, one wonders why 
this respected historian who has promoted and defended HPB would be 
compelled to compromise the integrity and accuracy of historical 
theosophical records."
=========================================================

Unless I am missing something here, Pelletier's critique about the 
abridged text in MY BOOK has nothing to do with the historical 
documents which I have published ON MY WEBISTE at:

and

Also see what I have already written on the subject just 7 days ago
