No, but still regard him as having refrained from moral judgments 
that most people would have a hard time stifling. Both of the 
individuals I have written about, HPB and Cayce, I began and ended 
up regarding with considerable affection and respect. It's hard to 
imagine writing about someone who was a scoundrel of truly 
monumental depravity and destructiveness and not conveying a 
judgmental attitude. Tillett managed to do to so to a far greater 
degree than most of us could, only to be rewarded with a couple of 
decades of extreme personal abuse.
