Theos-Talk Archives (November 2006 Message tt01044)

Daniel,

Thanks. 

You write: 

" Now Carlos you write of "the common sense critieria proposed by 
Tillett" and say that the editorial policy by Algeo and TPH 
is "clearly way outside" that criteria proposed by Tillett.

" But would Tillett approve of REMOVING 27 letters from the HPB Letters 
Volume I as apparently you and Jerome Wheeler and others are 
advocating???

" In THE AQUARIAN THEOSOPHIST, we read:

"The HPB Defense Fund is specifically dedicated to the publication
of an authentic Volume I of Madame Blavatsky's letters. The proposed
volume will have the fraudulent letters in the current Adyar edition
REMOVED . . ." caps added". 

And so on.


You seem to think there is only one possible alternative. 


There is more than one. 

You can properly identify the slanders and publish them, which is acceptable.

Or you can ignore them, saying in your preface/inroduction  why you do so.

The obvious key point is, not publishing slanders against HPB as if they had been written by herself!  Treating slanders as confessions is slandering in my view. 


Carlos.
