Are we an Anti-Mason Website?

The title of the blog says “Masonic Traveler Gives Anti-Masons an earful”. Really? Anti-Mason? Me?

As I set there and read that this is an “Anti-Mason Website” I wondered rather it could be true? I have to be honest that it seems a bit extreme to me. Why? I looked over all my material that I have posted, stuff I am planning to post and contemplated all the previous material posted on the old site and still found nothing I feel could legitimately be labeled as anti-masonic. It is true that I have problems with aspects of Freemasonry from what it teaches, to the way it is taught and even the grandiose egos of many of its members, but are no criticisms valid that wont be cast into a category reserved for liars and zealots?

It seems to me that there are many things on this planet that are worthy of valid criticism, from government agencies to religious institutions and Freemasonry certainly stands as no exception. I felt I was fair in my criticism of Freemasonry and if the Freemason I interviewed agreed that at least some of my criticisms were fair, then why should I be tossed into the category shared by likes of Hitler and Leo Taxil.

I am not offended by this but I prefer that Freemasons stop using words like “anti” too loosely. I have and will continue to treat the topic of Freemasonry with fairness by allowing rebuttals to my claims, but I wont pretend that the organization is benevolent in any way. If that makes me worthy of the label Anti-Mason, so mote it be!
