Concerning Hargrove's words, you apparently write:

"...isn't it a gossip....?"

Well, I don't know how you define "gossip".

I simply consider Hargrove's words as his testimony...part of the 
historical record.

Do you consider various statements by Judge or HPB as ALSO "gossip"???

Also much of what you write about Leadbeater or quote about 
Leadbeater could also be labelled "gossip".  :)
