Yes he should have said:
"my views are that I think you have improperly said some untruths about me, could you please keep silent next time and leave the babbling to brooks?"
LOOOOL.....

Dear Joe
I find it impolite to ask a person to "Shut up".
I suggest, that we all remain calm within and contemplate the issues as resonable persons.

Glad to be on your list. I was about to write a reasonsed reply, but decided that serves no useful purpose.
Oh, one other thing. What you said about my leaving the Theosophical Community is a damned lie. Shut up and stop babbling about stuff that you have no knowledge of whatsoever.

And what are you actually doing? When I send messages from the writings of Annie Besant and Leadbeater, you see that they don't appear on the front page. This way you are discouraging one significant group dedicated to Annie Besant and Leadbeater from discussing in that forum. What should be concluded from this difference between your announcements and your actions? In Texas English it is called hypocrisy.

Worst of all he turned an organization of inquiry into one of blind faith and credulity. Somewhere it was said that "credulity breeds credulity and leads to hypocrisy."

Dan Caldwell has done a tremendous service to the movement by making many of the source writings available to all students, whatever their views. Katinka has done much the same in providing students with valuable documentation and thoughtful commentary. In addition, Katinka's voice in all matters has been one of sanity and reason. The effect on every discussion I've seen her take part in is to bring in an element of decency and common sense that is nothing short of admirable.
