You need to learn some restraint. It profits you nothing, to engage in and take pleassure in breaking one of the TEN COMMANDMENTS....you know the one I speak of, don't you? If not, it's bearing false witness.

You don't like it, when others find fault with some of your interests, so why are you doing worse to others and reveling in it?

[Quix]

I've restrained myself tons over the last year in deference to you.

I don't profess to know lots and tons about the Masons either.

I haven't knowingly engaged in false witness, either.

I realize that hearsay is hazardous.

I'm strongly convinced that there's more going on than meets the eye.

I'm not impressed by the Masonic defense diatribes nor by those rabidly wholesale shrill in hostility toward the Masons.

I do have some experience counseling folks with varying degrees of Masonic background.

And I'll stop there.
