HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!  What happened to me was that the local
leadership did everything dishonorable
in their power to stop me.  In this case it was dishonorable,
slanderous, and as I have some of it on tape, libellous.

They had a strong, organized core committee to fight me.  When I quit
20% of the members (about half of the *active* ones) either quit or
let their membership lapse.

You read all the postings on this Bart, and I hope you will
apologize - there is a HELL of a difference if you are the victim.

By whatever name, the Adyar TS sucks.  I add "IMO" for the sake of
balance.
