aedifico42| On The Internet…

Posted at: 7:20 pm

The internet is the best and worst thing that could ever happen to Masonry.  It is a great tool for members of our craft, and is a place where many of us spend lots of time.  It is also a place that has assisted the enemies of our Craft to promulgate their heinous lies and vicious attacks.

Ok.  So that last part was a bit dramatic…but you get the point.  Now to the real questions: Is this type of communication (i.e. this and other blogs, websites, listservs and the like) over the internet truly ‘Masonic Communication’?  If so, it is forbidden as none of us really know who is a Mason and who is profane. 

That having been said, I think it is high time we either create or endorse some kind of Code for Relations Associating Fraternal Technology (C.R.A.F.T.) or Masonic Internet Code for Enforcement (M.I.C.E.) or Laws for the Evaluation of Valued Electronic Language (L.E.V.E.L. or perhaps we can create a Bureau for the Exchange of Electronic Relations (B.E.E.R.) or even a Technology and Electronic Quotient Unifying Intercommunication Laws and Agreements (T.E.Q.U.I.L.A.).

Or…we could just be prudent and patient and hope for the best.  You decide.  But if you have any suggestions, I’d love to hear them.
