Whether Mason or Non Mason, ALL should be allowed a rebutal, without fear of being censored.

However, all should also be able to feel free to post their opinions with out responses that come across as an organized gang-up.

If a person posts that 2+2=5 and a six people respond by saying, no, it really equals 4, they are not ganging up, they are presenting truth.

Pardon me for saying so, but that only enforces the point. Six people don't need to say it. It's true whether said by one or by one hundred. Truth is a sword and shield all its own.

It would seem then that the only fair, equitable and unbiased answer to this impasse is to allow a Mason on the moderator list for the Secret Societies board.

True, but to keep the vigorous defenses down, it would be good to know no one group was being discriminated against.
Hey, I'm the first to look for conspiracies, but knowing that an informed Brother was on the mods list would help alleviate some of the defensiveness, I think.

Yes, but if 60 or 600 who don't actually know any better keep vocally insisting that it's 5, what's the one guy to do even if the truth is on his side? Let 4 be ignored? Let the reputation of 5 be maligned? (you know, it eats babies, promotes the gay agenda (being a Prime number and all), builds obelisks and runs the Denver Airport)

Debate's a two-way street, SO.
When we see what looks like an aggressive pile-on from Mason-supporters within threads that are critical of Masonry... that's not even close to two-way... it's an attempt to get a one-way focus.
