I lurked a long time and was familiar with the drill but managed to innocently get on a Masons thread, a religion forum thread and an immigration thread soon after registering...
I was damned, the faith of my ancestors questioned, flamed, doomed, a liberal(that's really the lowest blow), my Texas womanhood was ridiculed...and out of it all I managed to gain a couple of tough old timer friends that I am kind of proud of..
Are you a native Texan? What did people find wrong with the Masons? I am a second generation descendant of proud Scotsmen - Bruce clan. As I said before I will continue to look but not contribute for a long while.
