Try to remember you all took an oath to be upstanding men of good report. I would not think that that includes "telling tales out of school" or so the saying goes.
Draw whatever conclusion you would want from my words. God knows you all will anyway.

No, Brad, that is not the rub. Whatever any of us feel or do not feel toward the GOdF has nothing to do with individuals barreling into masonic fora and making claims that cannot be confirmed (and, really, I've never given you my thoughts on the GOdF, so it cannot be claimed that I hold any opinion upon which you or anybody can comment). To add insult to injury and the murder of reason, insulting people in order to avoid the real rub: if the claims are true or not, or just merely boasts toward authenticity. Frankly, we've seen this stuff before for a number of years--even before you came around. This is nothing new, although the truth is even thinner and the game is getting shorter.
Of course, you will not believe this anyway, but you cannot lie yourself into believing that it is ok to insult people that ask honest questions with an endless and tired stream of reasons why you do not have to answer the question. Ok, don't answer it. However, the manner in which a request for an answer is rejected is very telling. So, if you claim that it is unfair that we all think you guys are stupid, then stop acting like it.
Finally, do you think that
we are also that stupid that we cannot do our own fact checking on this matter? Think again. You seem to ignore the fact that many of us do not live in an insulated masonic world and have contacts over the world.
Brother, I pray that you drop the paint brush and step out of the corner...
