Biased Entry


Surely this entire page is non-NPOV. Having some here to perform some research in the veracity of HPB I am dismayed to find the article references material only from the Theosophical society, putting forward only their viewpoint - pretty well verbatim (and without citations).

Looking at the evidence this appears to be based largely on hearsay claims and accusations by people who were involved at the time. This page needs counter-criticism and some objectivity. I'm extremely dubious about supportive tales which include written paper letters materialising and falling out of mid-air being used as part of an objective historical discussion.

Hopefully someone will come across my comments during routine cleanup but at least this comment is here for anyone else following the breadcrumb trail of accusation and counter-accusation in the HPB affair. Having read Anne Beasant's supporting letters also, these seem to be little more than a stream of ad-hominem with minimal addressing of the facts as revealed by the Hodgson Report. Nor am I convinced about the 1986 condemnation of the Hodgson Report. The entire subject is absent of rational critique. 86.5.117.70 (talk) 00:33, 25 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
