Dear Tim,
As A member of the Craft I have to say disagreeing with a persons theory or
postulation is not wrong. Calling the man a fool is. One of the first
instructions I recieved from my Dad (also a member of the craft) growing to
adulthood & was reinforced on my travels to Master Mason was that if you can
not say anything good about a person, say nothing at all. Sending this
e-mail sort of contradicts that statement, but then I am a Sinclair. That
kind of says it all.
Yours Aye,
George Duncan Sinclair
