Yes, a while back there was a thread which discussed ATS's bias against Freemasons. Things which came out in that thread...
According to ATS forum rule 4)...
Any positive experiences about Freemasonry must be posted in BTS. (Negative experiences may be posted on ATS.)

According to ATS moderator guidelines (as laid down by SkepticOverlord in the link below), any group of Masons who unanimously disagree with an incorrect statement about Masons are deemed to be 'ganging up' against the OP, and will be disciplined. There is no set limit on how many anti-masons can make blatantly untrue claims. However, if more than two or three masons refute those claims, we should be considered to be a "forum gang" , and such posts should be heavily moderated.

just like many other organizations,
the lower levels have no clue as to what the very high levels are really doing.

I don't get the whole Mason thing at all. You all have fewer secrets then us witches or even the catholic church. The very low level Masons are the only ones talking in public. Just a bunch of cliquish guys trying to find meaning to their otherwise ordinary lives.

I appologize. As before stated, the title was all advertising... I have a flair for chutzpah.

This is the silliest argument that I ever see regarding Masons. If 99% of them are "lower level" (Masons know better) then the bad 1% would be the exception, not the rule, and therefore they would not define "Masonry" as a whole.
In other words, if some small group of Masons have nefarious intentions outside the normal and approved activities of regular Masons, then they are not really Masons are they?
And for those of us Masons, we know that there are not "lower levels." There are 3 Degrees in Freemasonry, and after that everything is corollary. Even our Grand Masters that preside over states only require 3 Degrees of Freemasonry, along with respect of their brethren and a democratic election to the position.
So sorry to dissappoint.
