Well gee Mr Day et al, I did not expect such a bounce!

For the record I support their right to be Masons, but still insist that I have the right to express my opinion, in this case, about the state of decline of Masonism, and it is declining.

Maybe all that posing and such makes people nervous so they don't want to join? Perhaps if the Lodges would offer a free beer night every weekend and folks would simply join up for fun?

But somebody already nailed it down, they can't do that because certain members can't hold their beer - just like Orange Order marches always involve violence.
