Now.. someone do my avatar!
The figure is wearing a hat in order to show that you are either a Worshipful Master or Past Master, i.e., a high level Mason who, by definition, worships Satan, supports terrorism, and are probably a Bilderberg.
The figure smokes a pipe, symbolic of hashish. The Hashishim, also known as the Assasins, were a mystical Islamic order that probably were responsible for teaching Sufi doctrines to the Templars.
Your avatar is evil, man, really evil.
Now do mine!

Mason/agents being paid to monitor internet message boards is shameless. Spending years researching, compiling/writing a book to expose you then promoting it for free online... how is that shameless?
Actually, sc2099, I find the giant flashing "fnord" in your avatar particularly disturbing.

Y'all are cracking me up! It really is ridiculous how willing people are to read sinister symbolism into ANYTHING. For those who need so much clarification: I'm not saying there is never anything sinister out there...but i don't think it's in Scientist's avatar
The Illuminatus! Trilogy by Robert Shea & Robert Anton Wilson
If you can't see the fnords, the fnords won't eat you.

Like I said, I won't tell them they have to change. Just that if they are going to run things, I want the chance to be there.
Oh. And I'd also put spooks on a high traffic web forum to run defense against those that did their research. It's fun and exciting.

But some, such as those who, out of the blue, assert that I spend my pasttime with cannabilism of babies and want me killed...are, uh...psychotic in my opinion. Yes.
Yes. And thats why I am posting "the other side of the story", presenting cases of libel, slander, fraud and genocide conducted by anti-masons.
And you know what? This SIDE of things is truly underpublished. Everyone...even non-conspiracy-theorists get wide eyes when you say "Freemason". "Isnt that the evil organization that rules the world?"

generated by the spirit entity, I am highly distrustful. It is prejudiced.
As for "other avenues..." I understand that there are a great many, and I have explored a number. But the fact that I can't join ONLY because I hold this form in the material realm makes me... Well... Disgusted, I guess.
And, as I said, distrustful.

Wow. Almost makes it seem that you are fifth degree... LOL! No offense meant, but to catapult 28 degrees in one day..?
It either means you were seen as somehow "special," or there is not much meaning of the levels between 4 and 32. I'm just thinking.

Essentially aside from a few required degrees, you do them in the order they become available. We use a system called a "passport" to log our degrees, in any order. The degrees are very long sometimes and complex, only 7ish or so are done in a reunion.

Do you discern between serious conspiracy-researchers and frauds?
Doing so will increase interest in your books.

Haha did you just say "the mist" was real???
That was a horrible movie, with a terrible ending.

Of course I do, we all do whenever we read anything. I think my book shows good discernment quoting the likes of Alex Jones, Jim Marrs, and Paul Watson and not quoting frauds like Stewert Swerdlow or Zecharia Sitchin, for instance. I quote David Icke about bloodlines and secret societies of which he is knowledgable, but I refute Icke regarding his interpretation of serpent/reptilian aliens and symbology.
The best test is your own discernment, and based on the incredibly negative reaction I'm receiving from all the ATS Masons, I'd say I've hit pretty close to the mark. Otherwise you have nothing to fear, and I'm just another crazy/paranoid conspiracy theorist.

You guys will have to re-vise your conspiracy theory to something like this:
"Freemasons themselves are benevolent. It is the Illuminati who recruit from freemasonry because they find able men there, men of good reputation...to subvert them for their devilish purposes".
In other words, writing something that cant be refuted so damn easily.
"The Blue Degrees are but the outer court or portico of the Temple. Parts of the symbols are displayed there to the initiate, but he is intentionally misled by false interpretations. It is not intended that he shall understand them, but it is intended that he shall imagine that he understands them. Their true implication is reserved for Adepts, the Princes of Masonry.” –Albert Pike (Sovereign Grand Commander of the Supreme Council of the 33rd degree and Supreme Pontiff of Universal Freemasonry) “Morals and Dogma”
"Freemasonry is a fraternity within a fraternity - an outer organization concealing an inner brotherhood of the elect. ... It is necessary to establish the existence of these two separate yet interdependent orders, the one visible and the other invisible. The visible society is a splendid camaraderie of 'free and accepted' men enjoined to devote themselves to ethical, educational, fraternal, patriotic, and humanitarian concerns. The invisible society is a secret and most august fraternity whose members are dedicated to the service of a mysterious Arcanum arcandrum [a sacred secret]. Those brethren who have essayed to write the history of their craft have not included in their disquisitions [a formal discourse or treatise] the story of that truly secret inner society which is to the body Freemasonic what the heart is to the body human. In each generation only a few are accepted into the inner sanctuary of the work ... the great initiate-philosophers of Freemasonry are ... masters of that secret doctrine which forms the invisible foundation of every great theological and rational institution." -33rd Degree Mason Manly P. Hall, “Lectures on Ancient Philosophy
“The invitation-only thirty-third degree … is the highest publicly known degree. The vast majority of members look upon their affiliation with Freemasonry as little different from joining the Lion's Club, the Optimists, or the chamber of commerce. And from their standpoint, this is true. Even Masonic literature makes clear that only those initiates who progress beyond thirty-third-degree status are educated in the group's true goals and secrets. This hierarchy is readily admitted by Masonic authors. ‘There has always existed an external, elementary, popular doctrine which has served for the instruction of the masses who are insufficiently prepared for deeper teaching,’ wrote Mason Wilmshurst. ‘There has been an interior, advanced doctrine, a more secret knowledge, which has been reserved for riper minds and into which only proficient and properly prepared candidates, who voluntarily sought to participate in it, were initiated.’” -Jim Marrs, “Rule by Secrecy” (247-8)

I don't need to re-vise my conspiracy knowledge (not theory) to something like that, because I've already stated that it is just like you said. Most Masons are benevolent and that is how the higher-level malevolent ones maintain the facade.
Masons rise in degrees through a process of rituals and initiations. They read books like Machiavelli’s “The Prince” and Albert Pike’s “Morals and Dogma” then write essays detailing whether they agree philosophically with people like Pike, Hegel, Machiavelli and others.
These essays are then sent in to the Headquarters of International Freemasonry and reviewed by top-level Masons.

Looks like we're going in circles again. Here's an idea, how about doing a debate on this in the Debate Forum? A structured debate that is judged?

Or is this a judgement on style, execution and delivery as opposed to actual content?

All of the above.
