I'll make a very brief statement. There were two threads on joining Occult groups. I made some general comments on both. When I joined Barbelith, I quickly went over all the threads. I did not realize that there were two threads on the same topic. When people asked about literature, I provided some links to texts in the public domain at our web site at www.golden-dawn.com. At the praemonstrator ordinis of H.O.G.D., I made some comments on our curriculum. Whatever I did say was on topic. Mordant, on three occasions, accused me in Temple of 'pimping.'
Whatever work I do for H.O.G.D., as praemonstrator ordinis, or as general counsel, is uncompensated.
I was a bit chagrined when, and I had just mentioned my work as a praemonstrator, my experience with Occult orders, my recommendation that people read the literature available for free before joining an Order, etc. and no more in my posts, a thread appeared promoting a Chaos Magick lecture which charged a fee. I pointed this out.
"Pimp" is not a word that I take lightly. When Mordant used it again in a private communication, I made the- I admit- inappropriate (and unfounded) reference to her mother. It was a private communication; not published by me to a third party. Mordant threatened to publish it in Policy. I replied, as I always do when threatened: do whatever it is that you will.
After that, it became a thread in Policy. Whenever I posted anywhere, Mordant and Haus cross-posted. That was three months ago. This minor harrassment continued. When, quite recently, I posted a piece on the hexagraam- which, I think, anyone who reads it will find it factual and unargumentative- Mordant, dripping with sarcasm, tried to revive the prior thread. I made certain factual comments. Again, I was threatened with Policy. I started the current thread.
I will say this. I do not know Mordant's mother. My comment, made privately to her, and published by her to others, was inappropriate. I have said as much. |
