I probably would have ended up as an Anthroposophist in the 1980s -- I read several of Steiner's books then -- but every Anthroposophist I encountered in Washington state at that time was a dogmatic tub-thumping true believer with a decidedly angry streak. I was, ahem, unimpressed, since I've always tended to assess spiritual paths by the people they attract.
And it sucks, because Steiner's work -- especially the early stuff -- is extraordinarily useful, and can be combined with other Western esoteric traditions (how's that for blasphemy, according to the Dornach crowd?) with very good results.
