I also wonder if people such as Koot Humi and Moreya (sp?) used "m/Master" in reference to themselves or others and how they might've reacted to being called "m/Master."

Yeah but what if the person who used the word "idiot" didn't think of themself as a "master," to begin with, and ... I mean, seems to me that if somebody professes to set themself up as a "master," in some esotericy sense, (ie, as if esoterics could be literalized and as if interpretive/karmic tendencies could be magically side stepped as long as certain words---like "master"---are used along the way ...) ... so seems to me that if somebody tried to set themself up as a "master," in some sense, then that person might want to edit their language in a way that might be seen to be in keeping with whatever "masterly impression" they might want to convey, but if KH didn't think of himself as a "master to anybody," to begin with ... Or can somebody refer me to a passage where KH or M is shown to say something like: "I am the master and you are the idiot"? The interpretation that "he as much as said it or implied it" is, in my mumble speculative ipinion, (or humble speculative opinion ...), really up for grabs inasmuchasif/where (note qualifier/s ...) certain "case particulars/esoterics" might be seen to be dependent on interpretive preferences ...

<<as it is the arrogance of attitude and haughty cliquish nature of the discourse in which the writer seeks to separate the Us who know from the ' idiot them' in such a disparaging and insolent manner. And for what purpose?>>

I suppose there are various interpretations for the word "idiot" in that particular case/context, whatever that might've been seen to be more specifically. I wonder who that letter might've been addressed to.

Speculatively,
