Bro. Eric,
I really hate to do this but I feel it is necessary.
You really don't care about this brother or else you would be interested in learning all of the facts. You've made him just another statistic by calling it "an isolated incident."
No one wants to talk about or acknowledge these issues. It's so much easier to just brush them under the rug. Then, if it happens to you, and you give the Grand Hailing Sign and no one responds you have a much clearer understanding of Masonic brotherhood.
Masonic brotherhood is worthless! It's just a bunch a fair weather friends who abandon you when some sorry son of a bitch wearing a fancy gold chain expels you.
Are you going to be a fair weather brother or a real Mason? Being a real Mason mean caring about others and seeing that justice is done. It's not easy to be a real Mason. It requires more than an oath and obligation; it requires the internal fortitude to do what's right regardless of the cost. Hiram Abiff is the Mason's example of this. He did what was right even though it cost him his life. Are you ready to be such a man and Mason?
