King James had more than appreciative eyes for ] Naturally, Haiduc felt the need to share this news with the community, but instead of being praised for his scholarship, he was reviled.

After a chance meeting at the ], this anonymous user took a shine to our Benjiboi, and has been showering him with attention on virtually every board on Misplaced Pages. Flattered though he is, Benjiboi finds the attention a bit distracting, and administrators have been seeking various remedies for this. It has proven difficult, as the stalker has an IP address that changes quicker than ] in a telephone booth. So perhaps some of you would like to watchlist Benjiboi's page, and lend a hand if you see some love letters from an 11 digit friend. I was actually thinking we should get Alice's harasser and Benjiboi's stalker together. Then we could have another sequel, sort of like ]. Any bets as to who would win?? | |||

| I want you to know that I really appreciate your note on my talk page. My apologies if the forum shopping remark went too far. With respect to newspaper searches, I'd actually not expect to find much on the individual masters in the newspapers. I suspect the same would be true for the gods, saints or other objects of the religious imagination associated with other ]s. | |||
| My point of view is that when it comes to religious matters, sources internal to the religion are sufficient for reporting what the adherents believe. Yes, it would be good to have at least some outside views, but typically a new religious community of the size of Theosophy has several voices and at least a couple of associated publishing houses. There is not always agreement between adherents, and many of the publishing houses publish a broader range of books than just those specific to the belief system. That is, some of the Theosophical publishers can't really be labeled "vanity presses". They were/are real publishers with editorial staff, submissions, etc. and like most publishers probably rejected many more manuscripts than they accepted. So they did play a defining role, yet at the same time, it was a fairly broad community that produced the writers. | |||
| On the other hand, I can certainly see your point when we get down to the submovements which claim Theosophy as their spiritual parent. Where to draw the line is certainly something for the Misplaced Pages community to decide. On the third hand, it doesn't hurt to assure those who are intimately familiar with the details of the topic, either because there are involved in research on the topics or even more intimately involved as members that we value their opinion about what elements are significant enough to be considered notable within the topic. Yes, they may need to supply some citations and sometimes they won't be there. But sometimes things that should be considered valid sources are dismissed incorrectly. I think it pays to be a bit accepting in order not to alienate potential editors. When religious issues are involved, feelings are likely to get hurt. So let's trim the fat without cutting away too much meat or our or anybody else's fingers. :-) ] (]) 00:19, 16 December 2007 (UTC) | |||
| :Thanks for your comments, I appreciate what you've brought to the table.
