I was on a forum for Texas Tech athletics a couple of days ago when I read a thread that disappointed me greatly. A poster, with the name "FreemasonryTTU" had picked an e-fight with another poster over something trivial. It went on for pages and "FreemasonryTTU" kept trying to establish a place to fight and finally figure out "who the man was." Meanwhile other readers of the thread had a field day picking sides, making comments, and suggesting places for the fight (like one of the lodges in Lubbock, even posting the website for the lodge).
Still being a "young" mason in both age and time in the fraternity I wasn't entirely sure what to do. I chose to send him a private message. The drift of the message was that he was free to say anything he wanted, but by his forum name he also represented the Fraternity. I quoted the charge of the MM that we are "To preserve unsullied the reputation of the fraternity, must be your constant care." I haven't heard back from him.
So did I handle it right? And if not, what would you suggest next time something like this happens?
