Hello Firestar, do you think that Wikipedia should be on the list of purported cults? Please read this article Wikipedia:controversial issues. Thanks in advance Andries 14:54, 25 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Hi
I would first like to compliment how you have so politely made your views known in the talk page, rather than the article (as is unfortunately so common here ;). Secondly, I would like to hear why you have a negative impression of theosophy. The only negative aspect that I have discovered (and my studies of it are rather extensive) is the spiritualism/channeling, of which I disapprove. Otherwise I find it to be quite roundly positive. Feel free to decline, but I would appreciate if you explained your position. Sam [Spade] 05:08, 26 Jul 2004 (UTC)


 * I am particularly confused by your description of theosophy as "left hand". The Left-Hand Path and Right-Hand Path article has Theosophy mentioned as an example of "right hand" path, and Helena Blavatsky as an originator of the term, attempting to expres the morality of "right hand path".

 * I don't agree w the legalist = right, esotericism = left idea that seems to be a basis to your reasoning, but I can understand how you might not want to spend alot of time discussing the particulars of this :) Sam [Spade] 20:49, 26 Jul 2004 (UTC)


 * I find you neither careless nor disagreeable, indeed I've quite enjoyed our conversation. I am the sort who can easilly enjoy a conversation with a polite person whom I disagree with on some particular. Religion is a subject of rare agreement, and easy misunderstandings. Also, I agree with you that the left right dicotomy has some failings. Are you familiar w white lodge and black lodge? Sam [Spade] 20:17, 27 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Apology
I am sorry about what happened in votes for deletion. I assure that it was merely an edit-collision.

Anglo-America
Would you support the wording "...although a significant proportion of Canadians do not speak English as their primary language." in place of "although a significant proportion of Canadians do not speak English."? I've made the change and was interested in your opinion as you were the user who pointed out the possible confusion in the first place. I think the new wording now fails to address the fact that SOME canadians don't speak English in any form, but I'm not sure how large a percentage that group of Canadians is. Let me know what you think about the change. --ABQCat 22:35, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Taijiquan
Hi! I took a look at the Yang Ch'eng-Fu page and added a bit - but feel free to change whatever you like (I am not a Yang stylist, so...). I am not completely sure about the Wade-Giles romanization spellings, but I hope they aren't wrong...

Both the Wu Jianquan and Yang Chengfu pages have great photos! I am very happy to see these pictures! :)
