Worshipful
Brother Sir,
If there’s
anybody more disappointed to responses to a personal opinion, it would not be
you. My piece was posted in MY own
personal website where I store most of MY humble writings as a precaution in
case my PC’s hard drive malfunctioned.
Your subtle innuendo that I stole an idea from a published material and
used it as my own can be better served to described Albert Pike’s Moral and
Dogma.
To received
this kind of communication from a Past Master implying his superior ability to
drop lower than a less talented “intellectually dishonest” person is a fine
example of the result of my original article---Not 4 Everybody. Despite of beautiful lesson such Masonic
Ornaments, people who should be teachers especially those who were elected to
sit in the Eastern Chair could not even remember nor understand the Fellow
Craft Charge. Instead of focusing on the
issue, the tactic of personal attack is an old trick perfected by career
politicians. Most appalling is calling
someone a “brother” and instead of whispering good counsel to an erring ear
went ahead insinuate his mightiness. If
there is a bigot here, look into your mirror and if you listened hard enough, the
image might tell you that your “sensitivity to your local experience” is not a
license to get even to those who have nothing to do with your issue. How regrettable that you call me a “Brother”
as I am oblige to return that favor---- you might
be one but worthy let alone “worshipful” might be hard to accept.

PS,
Would you
agree that it is bit presumptuous as your friend xxxxx
like to say, to expect that my knees would start shaking just because you made
something “crystal clear.” How about this. YOU
AND ANYONE LIKE YOU ARE NOT WELCOME TO MY WEBSITE. It is my hope that is
clear enough.
BTW, xxxxx, If you care about fairness,
why don’t you post my reply so that everybody in your group could at
least read my rebuttal? or maybe I need to
post that too, on my website.
Brother
Rudy,
Just read your response to my remarks on your "Not 4 Everybody" piece.
For what it's worth, I'm a bit disappointed. Not at
the response itself-- everyone is entitled to their opinion, and everyone knows
that old saying about opinions. I'm disappointed that
you would post my response outside of the (closed) forum in which it was
presented without asking my permission. And I'm
further disappointed that you quoted me completely out of context. That's a breach of internet etiquette at best, and
intellectually dishonest at worst.
To be honest, it reminds me of what anti-Masons continually do with the works
of Albert Pike -- picking lines here and there to further their own agenda,
without placing them in the original context that more fully illustrates the
writers point of view, and which would weaken their own arguments. If I wanted to engage in the same tactics, there's more
than enough material in your response that I could pull some lines and
fragments from here and there, and make you out to be bigoted, anti-Catholic
and an elitist. But, that would be intellectually
dishonest, and non-masonic as well.
Good luck with "better serving the Craft through the medium of study and
research..."
PS In case it is not self-evi
