Theos-Talk Archives (August 2010 Message tt00163)

Over the years, many responsible persons in Theosophical movement again and again requested Eldon Tucker (the former owner of Theos-talk), to either delete, abolish and annihilate Theos-talk or moderate it properly. It is because of vast number of anti-Theosophical messages being sent by members of Theos-talk. Many of these active members of Theos-talk were not members of Adyar TS. In fact many of these talking members of Theos-talk were against becoming member of Adyar TS and many considered Adyar TS and it's administration, right from Annie Besant till today, as illegitimate (According to them W. Q. Judge was the true successor of HPB). So they kept on sending messages against Adyar TS, it's Theosophy and it's leaders to this list Theos-talk. 
Ironically, Theos-talk was being considered by some people as indicative of thoughts and feelings of members of Adyar TS, when in reality it indicated thoughts and feelings of some disgruntled individuals who were against Adyar TS. 
Despite repeated request from many responsible persons in Theosophy, earlier owner of Theos-talk continued to run this Theos-talk list, which did much harm to Theosophical movement and destroyed it's brotherly atmosphere.  Finally he has given it's ownership to MKR, who, I think, has much more skill in checking messages which are not helpful to Theosophical movement and Theosophical Society. This change is ownership will be very beneficial to Theosophical movement and damage done to it by Theos-talk will be much less hereafter. 
Despite recent controversies, I absolutely welcome this change in ownership of Theos-talk and congratulate MKR and wish him best luck and wisdom in moderating the list.
