If you were not that hasty you could see that my intention was not to doubtabout historical data, which I am aware of.
The division I was giving my free opinion about was the division between the beliefs and interpretations from the Judge/HPB/ULT line and the Adyar/Leadbeaterian approach.
I know that Leadbeater didn't held any important office in the Theosophical Society, nor should he! His works influenced - and still do - many newcomers who just got started in theosophy are still influenced by his visions and observations.
You say that teaching wrong points of view is not a sin at all.
Yes, but I donīt think it is alright.

I donīt consider myself a ridiculous person, I am just a researcher, in my way.
I can also say that the way you expressed your POV was a little offensive for a theosophist who speaks of brotherhood in the paragraph before.

Pardon me, but even if all you wrote were true, it was W.Q. Judge who 
is responsible for the first split of the theosophical movement. As 
far I know, he wasn't expelled but has himself divided the Society. 
Other numerous splits were just the echoes of the first and main one.
If Besant, Olcott and Leadbeater were wrong, he could say that they 
are wrong, they are fools, they are villains and black magicians, and 
maybe they would even hate him for that and expell him, but no one 
could accuse him in split. In Buddhism the split of the sangha is 
regarded as one of the greatest falls, and it far overweights all the 
sins of the other side, real and imaginary, whatever they could be. 
This principle is quite applicable to the TS, for the brotherhood is 
its first object while other objects are subsidary.

Remember that Leadbeater didn't held any important office in the 
Theosophical Society. The difference of opinion and preaching wrong 
teaching is not a sin at all. To accuse people in that is just 
ridiculous for those who call themselves theosophists.
