What a wonderful thing the internet is….
Brothers,
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.

William Morgan Expose
For those interested I found a copy of Morgan’s Expose on Freemasonry from projectgutenberg.org:

Clatworthy 2.0
From the Meetup that we “sponsor”, by some humorless cowan named “Nigel”:
“Just joined the group and checking out some of your links and sponsors. Find it strange about the link to “The Setting Maul.”
My grandfather was a Freemason and in my home country Freemasons were always upheld to a high character. Am surprised that such affiliation with freemasonry and the type of conduct would be acceptable from Masons in United States and Utah.
There constitutes a disclosure on the site of not an official Masonic Body but still links it as being ran by Masons. Which from my grandfathers standards and my own does not seem of in light of what a mason should act accordingly, nor be proper conduct of any man.
I find it questionable that Masonic Leadership or any Mason for that matter would be connected with such demeanor.
I find for the sake of Freemasonry being held to higher standard I express my opinions. Thank you.”

As Heard on Facebook, a Crude Joke:
A man brings his wife some beautiful flowers.
She says “I suppose I’ll have to spread my legs for you now.”
To which he replies “Why, don’t we have a vase?”

I realize that some of you may be saddened that I don’t have any tomes on Uncle Al. It would be cost prohibitive however, since I’d probably need to torch the book after reading them lest I become tainted.
Oh, and here’s a clue on the Utah Connection:

AF & AM v. F&AM
Thanks to Brother MX2 I have had a few email messages [off this website] asking after discussion or offering same with regard to the difference between Ancient/Antient Free & Accepted Masonry versus Free & Accepted Masonry. Very well then – I offer my gratitude to you MX2 for bringing this matter up and it resulting the discussion that came along as a result. I’d like to further the discussion by offering it here. Please focus the discussion on those elements which can and are proper to be discussed in a public forum as you know The Setting Maul is open to all who might stumble upon it. Let’s remember our promises.
What are the differences? Where did the ‘Ancient/Antient’ come from? Which is truly more Ancient/Antient if one actually is and if it really matters? If what I’ve read and been told in other discussions as I’ve had are correct, there’s a bit of an oxymoron in the ‘Ancient/Antient’ though I cannot be sure my information is correct.
Now, before ANYONE gets upset, NO I did not just insult our Ancient/Antient Free & Accepted Brothers by using the word oxy’moron’…
