I think there is a difference between holding our problems up to the light of day and posting them on a billboard. I do feel that Lodges and Grand Lodges need to be open and upfront about their problems with their membership. Hiding problems doesn't make the go away or help them, they are still waiting there in the dark. I think sites like Masons of Texas are a great place for groups of Masons to come together and discuss their issues and problems. That's why I support sites like ours here, because we don't just sit around and whine, bitch and complain. We sit and discuss the issues and share our thoughts on how best to solve or work around them.
I don't like leak sites because they don't provide solutions. They take every little issue they can find and beat people with them. To me, they are the same as posting every embrassing detail up on a billboard advertising those shortfalls, and shortfalls only. Just think of all the things we have discovered about Brother Ben Franklin. Now think what would have happened if his every exploit and affair was posted on a billboard. Do you think he would have still been allowed to have as great an impact on the world as he did?
