 Let me try to understand what Mr. Aveline is writing about....What 
 does he really mean by these statements???
 
 Mr. Aveline seems to be saying that it is okay and just "fine and 
 dandy" to have different views about Theosophical personalities and 
 events.
 
 So if the ULT history considers Mrs. Tingley "at best a self-deluded 
 woman, at worst a charlatan" while the Point Loma TS history 
 considers her a genuine messenger of the Masters and worthy successor 
 to Judge, then is Mr. Aveline saying that is ok because "different 
 versions of history is a healthy thing to live with"?
 
 Ok...now let's consider Judge.   According to one history Judge 
 forged letters from the Mahatmas while another version says he didn't.
 So is Mr. Aveline ok with BOTH of these versions since "different 
 versions of history is a healthy thing to live with"???
 
 Or if Katinka H. believes it is possible HPB might have performed 
 some fake phenomena as well as genuine phenomena, is Mr. Aveline 
 tolerant of this view??  Remember "different versions of history is a 
 healthy thing to live with. The movement is one, and it has different 
 views."
 
 Just trying to understand what Mr. Aveline's actual thinking is about 
 in this regards....
