SOF whitelisting

[Tom Accuosti]

I just got an email informing me about the moderation status of SOF. Is
this new, or have I just not been paying attention?

You probably know that SBC Yahoo dropped Usenet access a few months ago.
I just finally got around to setting up an account with
Eternal-September / Motzarella. I'm using Gmail instead of my old SBC
email address, so perhaps I long ago filtered the moderation messages,
and am only getting new ones because it's a different account.

BTW, I saw that the other day you had an introductory note from a Raum
Sariel of Lodge Napoleon. Raum is the nom-de-month of Brad Cofield, who
left his mainstream GL and started a quasi-Mephis-Misraim chapter, and
after some disagreements with Mainstream Masons elsewhere, has now
started this internet only lodge.

Brad is generally okay, but some of the SOF regulars might have an issue
with some of his perspectives on Masonry in general. Unfortunately, he
has had, in the past, problems in maintaining his temper when questioned
on his affiliations.
There's no good way to pass along this kind of information, certainly
not without sounding like I'm expecting trouble, which I'm hoping won't
happen. It's just that Brad is pretty well known around web groups and
blogs, so I thought I would just pass this on - you can do with this
information as you will.

Regards,

I approved it, Tom, and in keeping with what I understand as the mission
of the Moderating Team, I approved the post because whomever it was
that posted did not violate any of the "terms of service" (for lack of a
better phrase) of the group with that particular posting. If and when
the poster in question does violate the charter, we'll handle it then.

I for one do appreciate the heads-up, though.
