[edit] Can't talk?

So can we take that we cant talk about DuQuette? The libel notice is a bit over the top. My 2 cents worth about DuQuette is, that he is someone who hasnt developed Thelema in any new way. All he has done is taken Crowley's material and republished it with some lazy writing of his own. Has an occultist he has a very poor reputation amongst Thelemites and occultists since he has stifiled development in the Caliphate OTO in the US and has failed to provide fresh and new insight into Thelema. I welcome any debate on these points. ( Bongo666)

On the positive side "his" books have helped bring people to Thelema who wouldnt have been intelligent enough to understand Crowley's writing by itself. Duquettes books act has a primer for the more complicated stuff. Discuss.

I disagree that the Duquette "books" have helped people come to Thelema. Most of his work has essentially ripped off Crowleys work and hasnt added anything to the writing.

This is the wrong forum for debating personal opinion. The "talk" pages are for discussing improvements to the article. Thanks for understanding. Jkelly 22:05, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Its not a forum. It says discussion. And i am discussing Duquette's legitimacy on the occult scene. Most have Duquettes material has been second hand from other sources (Mainly Crowley) Anyone could write the simplistic books Duquette has released if they had copyright access to the Crowley archive!! So i am looking to someone to debate these points! (Bongo666)
