We at the Setting Maul believe wholeheartedly in the long standing Masonic tradition of shameless self promotion, but on occasion we will find something of worth amongst the flotsam of the internet that is worth mentioning. This is the reason for my post today. I came across this little website and thought that it was done in the spirit of what we hold dear at The Setting Maul.

Recently, we’ve started to gain some detractors. They claim that we don’t act like true Freemasons, that we have no sense of decorum, or that we are a band of profanity-laced drunks. Some are uncomfortable with our podcasts and thier tone. To those people and brothers, I say “grow a sense of humor or go elsewhere”.
You see, we take our Freemasonry very seriously. If you can’t find the humor in your Lodge, or in your Freemasonry, that seems a sad thing to us. We also realize that there’s a time and a place for our humor. During a degree isn’t the time. Sure, it can provide a nice undertone to a regular meeting, but decorum is still the rule.
As for being drunks, that’s a damn lie. At least three of us have to drive home after recording the podcast, and I can assure you none of us drives in an impaired condition. Steve would beat us to death. Not to mention that I / we take a very dim view of drunk drivers (no matter what you may have plead down to). Finally, open a damn history book. UGLE started in the upstairs room of a pub, you morons. Do you really think they were drinking water and lemonaid in 1717?
This note isn’t to convince you. It’s likely that if you’ve gotten to this stage in your life without a sense of humor, then a post on some random blog amongst the flotsam of the internet isn’t going to change that. We only have this advice for you: “Don’t go away angry, just go away.”
