Theos-Talk Archives (April 2009 Message tt00434)

Dear MKR,
I was not commenting on freedom of thought and freedom to express thoughts online, which you often praise. 
I was writing about how actions of different individuals affected Theosophical movement. 
It is not that each and every sentence these individual wrote did damage to Theosophical movement. While evaluating I need to consider overall impact of their right and wrong actions. And overall impact of online actions of these individuals was highly damaging to Theosophical movement. That is why we see today Theosophical movement in such a miserable condition.
