Theosophy News Worldwide 4th Quarter 2014 - Topic of the quarter

In this drama there are two main participants, on the one side, Dave Marsland and his Website Dave's Theosophy Newsboard with some subdomains, in some way supportet through the Yahoo Group "Theos Talk" and Manjeri K. Ramadoss within this group. Both, Mr. Ramadoss and Mr. Marsland, publishing critical Posts about TS Adyar since years, f.e. about irregularitys of the presditents Election, membership-cancellations,legal disputes, felled trees, a "cow issue" also here and so on with many messages to each issue, sometimes also reflected in important indian newspapers, f.e. see here for a legal disput in "The Times of India" or here for the "tree-issue" in "The Hindu".

As follows a few more posts from Mr. Marsland from this quarter and look here for an overview of the latest messages in Theo's Talk

• Crumbs from the High Table That's how the Ballast is kept informed
• It's in the News: A press report on the Presidential Election

• Adyar Jackboot
• Adyar Rumbling Gets Louder
• Duty of Care
• Reply to open letter written by Jan Nicolaas Kind
• Summons To Adyar

• Carry On Up The Adyar
• Inaccuracies? How many trees were chopped down?
• Lumberjack Boyd Or Sleeping President
• Staying Silent: News of an enquiry by the Indian authorities makes Tim Boyd and the General Council look vulnerable.

On the other side stands the TS without (so far I know) any direct response of this writings, except of the "Tree-issue" see here a press-release from TS Adar, which is an answer of the related article in "The Hindu", see above, even if it's directly adressed to the TS. And so Mr. Jan Nicolaas Kind take the ring against the accusation or more exactly against Mr. Marsland with some articles posted on his website Theosophy Forward and on his Facebook-Group (UPDATE: Mr. Kind told me, that this articles switch offline soon, see also his "MKR is out"-statement below, except of the open letter, that is also hosted on Mr. Marsland's site):

• DAVE MARSLAND, YOU HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM! Open letter, written by Jan Nicolaas Kind or on FB
• Editorial – Am I in the Wrong Movie?
• Don't feed the Trolls or on TF
• Editorial – The Rambling Moderators Rave On.

And also this statement:

"MKR IS OUT! The TS-Adyar is doing very well because we see that MKR, the internet troll from San Antonio Texas, with the international convention approaching has stepped up his activities vomiting one false accusation or insinuation after the other all over his bla-bla site. This grapevine moderator is breaking his own shameful record, but unmistakably proves that there is a lot of Light, because when there is Light, darkness also appears; it is an easy to understand Theosophical principle. As from January 01, 2015 MKR will be out! All relevant articles mentioning his name or site will be deleted from Theosophy Forward. Let’s put Theos talk out of its misery!" Posted on Theosophy Forward FB-Group on December 19, 2014 from Mr. Kind.

I have to exclude myself completely from this drama. Should everyone make his own opinion about it. And so I will end this (at least) here, with a quote from Adolph Knigge (1752 - 1796), a german lawyer, civil servant and satirist, who said:

"The truth is always in the middle, and one man's speech is no man's speech, because both sides we must always listen."
