Re: Theos-World Election of the Vice-President & related issues - Contradict

I have no problem with psuedonyms.  If the information is true, it  does 
not matter under which name it comes from.

I will leave it to the reader to make up their minds about the  pseudonym
issue. Many times, it is used by people to keep their personal  reputation
mask clear. Because, once you write something with your own  name, you have
to standby what one writes.

The disenfranchisement  issue is very very serious. If the coup had
succeeded, we will not be  talking here, because there is nothing to talk
about and all information  would have been shut like a clam shell. What is
more important is that  members were able to make up their minds about the
Quartet who tried the  ultra secret attempt. This issue is not going to go
away, because it is an  extremely serious issue with the future of TS and  
its
members.
