Does this mean you are either incapable or unwilling to answer the question?

Regardless, why would you involve yourself with a discussion board either way?

The question was not very difficult.

Hello, Well i have a question.
As you are now at that degree does it have anything to do with the 3 spiritual planes that i seem to be reading about in the Kybalion?
Just a hunch i have?
As it seems i am on this path to better myself for the betterment of the people around me.
And i would like to know does the knowledge you are bestowed with accessible to anyone as it is all there? If you only knew the books and places too look and access this information?

I hope you can answer this question or any other brothers could, Thanks


peace

You know very well you misquoted him.

His post was asking the OP to return at a later time with a new thread entitled

I'm am finally a 33rd degree mason... Any Questions?

He wasn't saying he was a 33* mason...

I think you need to brush up on your reading skills, the question was very simple. I asked him whether he was interested in the Scottish Rite more than Blue Lodge Masonry specifically because of his 33rd comment, not whether he was a Mason or not (which is quite obvious that he is not).

And he chose not to answer it but you kept pushing the issue.
It's obvious you just want attention.
After his first or even second reply it was obvious he wasn't going to answer but you kept it up.

Learn to let things go.

Then my second questions stands, why post on a discussion board if you are not willing to discuss your posts?

reply to post by AugustusMasonicus


You're question wasn't related to his post at all.
You might as well have been asking him his opinions on Keynesian Economics.
He posted a comment directed to the OP asking them to return with a new thread.
Out of the blue you quote him and ask him a question.
It isn't a matter of not discussing their post, you're question was at best tangential to their post.

Do you look for random people to quote and ask non sequitur questions and proceed to complain when they don't answer you?
The post Zatara made wasn't directed at you, but for some reason you latched onto it.
Then get annoyed when they don't answer your question.
They are under no obligation to address your question, discussion forum or not.

Do you go up to random people at parties and ask random questions and then get mad when they don't start up a discussion with you?
That's what you're doing here.

He asked a question?! That bastard! How dare he ask questions!

He asked a question pertinent to the post and thread. Asking questions is a part of the discussion and he was trying to engage and clarify.

It was quite related. Asking someone to return to create a '33rd thread' is directly related to the Scottish Rite, hence my question.

You might as well have been asking him his opinions on Keynesian Economics.

If I wanted to disucss that I would ask the professionals; Bernanke and Dear Leader.

Just because you do not see a relation does not mean there is not a relation.

Do you go up to random people at parties and ask random questions and then get mad when they don't start up a discussion with you?

Again, this is a discussion board, people come here to talk about things. If you are so uncomfortable with people asking other people a question maybe this is not suited to you. Using your logic you should not be addressing me because my question did not involve you.

can't we all just get along? -Rodney King

And what blows my mind is that your question was an absolutely valid inquiry based on the poster's comment, and now Mr. Buttinski thinks he can come in and denigrate you for asking a question that was totally relevant to the poster's comment!

CHEESEANDRICE!

It's not only me who doesn't see a lack of relation in your question.
The person you asked the question believes you misquoted him and doesn't want to answer a question.
So if the person asked doesn't think it's relative, the odds of it not being relative go up.

As for addressing you or not, you are an attention seeker and I simply called you on it.
Perhaps you shouldn't complain and complain when someone doesn't respond.
All you want is attention, and I'm done giving it to you.

Asking questions is fine, this is after all a discussion board.
After it was clear the poster asked a question wasn't going to reply any mature person would have moved on.

Instead AugustusMasonicus kept at it.
That's nothing but attention seeking, if they moved on it would be one thing.
Pushing someone who obviously wouldn't reply means they just wanted attention.

It is obviously not belief in misquotation, otherwise they could have explained how it was misquoted. They just made a drive by post and got called out on it.

Aww, look at you, just because you did not understand the question as well you are going to take your ball and go home. Have fun.

Well Augustus is always seeking to truth and accurate information, when he can't do that he find strings and pulls on them...I guess he found a string.

We've had a few 33rd's on this forum so all would need to do is look or PM them.

I have to wonder about the 33* Masons posting on a thread about anything Mason related.

It's one thing to be open about being a Mason, but being actively involved in a Mason discussion you risk accidentally letting something slip.
Even if you don't let anything slip you run the risk of admitting something by omission.
That is by refusing to comment on certain suspicions others have it can be taken as an admission by omission.
You also run the risk of tarnishing the name of your order through your conduct.

I just find it fishy, and take every post by someone saying they are a Mason with several pinches of salt.
They could be being open and honest(I hope they are), I just think its dangerous to talk about ones own order openly.
Especially on a conspiracy forum.

unless the only things we are obligated to keep secret are the handshakes and passwords. Then it would be very easy to post here, as many of us have been for quite some time. And shamefully, we have been saying the very same thing for years, but nobody is smart enough to back-track and figure out that we are either telling the truth, or real good at telling a story.

I once read you have to start wearing your parting on the other side of your hair after becoming a master mason. This is something to do with a reflection of a new 'you' and distancing from your old you. I was told this kind of ties in with the 'as above, so below' principle of hermeticism: the micro reflecting the macro and vice versa.

Is this true?

I will respect your right not to answer / give away secrets.
