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.

I have NOT ever joined in on the piling on, of you, vis-a-vis some of the things you have posted. And yes, your own term, "benign neglect" is what I gave/give you. I don't even post to those threads.

OTOH, the reverse has not been the case. If you want the gloves to come off, so be it and I know far more about YOUR topic, than you know about Freemasonry.

And please don't use weasel words with me! Throwing in "knowingly" and your counseling, doesn't cut it.

Oh, so now accurate, historically factual, and detailed replies, used to refute baldfaced lies and 1/2 truths, are to be labeled "diatribes", are they? I'll remind of this; of THAT you can be sure.
