If that's all we'll ever get on matters such as this, it's no wonder why there's conspiracy theories regarding people who are accused of being masons. Seems like Masonry as an organization is an accomplice.

Wow, thats a non sequitur if I've ever seen one. Because there is not a single repository where everyone can find out who is a mason, they must be an "accomplice" (to whom/what, by the way?).
Then how should one respond when there is, in fact, nothing to see?

"Move along now ... nothing to see here"; shouldn't be accepted as a viable answer - for anything.

They wouldn't give it to me either, due to privacy reasons.

There we go with the assumptions again. It seems that is all you can do.

Judging from the information I've received in the last few posts, there is a single repository; it should be a possibility for one enterprising Mason (non-Masons sure as hell can't do it) to embark upon a few inquiries to various Secretaries regarding the membership of, say, Paul or Obama.

From what I gather, the Secretaries must be the holders of all the lists of members in their jurisdiction; and supposedly, their job description entails responding to just such a request for membership information. They i turn can make inquiries of their own, to other Secretaries in other parts of the country.

...And the conspiracy theories necessarily roll on.

Would you rather have a conversation or indulge in an unanswered polemic?

I'm quite ready to have a simple conversation (mason, mime or Smurf - it matters not)
Originally posted by Fire_In_The_Minds_of_Men
well you know the result.

Most interesting. Yet every time someone (mason, non-mason, you name it) tries to have one with you and they disagree, you ignore them or blatantly ignore the contents of their post and start insulting everyone.

I hear you loud and clear - I'm the problem.
That accomplishes a lot. Thank you.
