what did Masons eat for breakfast?Evidently, the flesh of Christian babies. Never heard of the Law of the Conservation of Blood Libel?

Heh, I know a fellow, a Mason, who started a thread titled "Do Masons Really Eat Children?" on a conspiracy forum.

Well, of course we don't eat children. Everyone knows we use children to make candles for our rites. Of course, if they happen to have blond hair and blue eye, and we can get eight of them, we use our nefarious skills to make gold

What colour is the other eye?
No seriously, that's only if they are all boys, if one of them is a girl you only get silver!

This is true but sometimes silver is exactly what we need. After all, we must have a ready supply of silver for the sacrificial daggers used in the 666th degree. As you know, a freshly minted dagger, forged in silver made from blond-haired/blue-eyed (at least one of each) girls is required in that degree.
Gold we use for our trips to Aruba (do you think you'll make it to the secret gathering there this year?).

I know you guys are having a bit of fun and the expense of the gullible... but do you really think this is helpful?
Somewhere in my mind's eye I have a picture of Mason's being above baiting ...
Something tell me also that just painting a mental picture for somebody else of unsavoury things will have its repercussions for both parties.
I know, I'm old with strange ideas...

I have been repeatedly surprised that when I am joking people think that I am not
So I tend not to joke about matters that other people take seriously

Bro. Ma'at, as Freemasons we are pretty much required to pity those who know not what they do. I understand that teaching quite well. I know of no Masonic teaching that indicates I must in any way grant credibility to those who believe these silly stories and then set themselves up to know not what they do. Granting their ideas respect - or just remaining silent in the face of them - grants them credibility. They don't deserve that. They won't get it from me. In poking fun at these ideas, I point up the silliness of them. I speak against them in the most harmless way possible. In so doing and in some small way, maybe, down the road, someone I don't even know will not have to face the rack/stake/etc. It happened before, it can happen again. But if it does happen again, it won't be because I stood silent. Or silly

I was recently asked why do Masons wear aprons and I replied:
"we love to cook."
True story.
