The first in a series of shorter episodes on topical Masonic subjects, I'm calling "X-Oriente Dispatches." In this Dispatch, I comment on the recent verdict in the Frank Hass vs. the Grand Lodge of West Virginia case.
Just remember the disclaimer: I speak only for myself and not for any Lodge, Grand Lodge or any other Masonic body.

Bravo, Brother Diamond.
Your insights are always valuable.
I was a member of West Virginia and these affairs have sickened me to the point that I have demitted to Pennsylvania.
A GiveForward fund has been set up to help alleviate a part of the burden incurred during MW Brother Haas’s legal battle.

The Haas saga continues. There is now a “pissing contest” between WV & OH Grand Lodges.We can not visit each other’s lodges. KY says: WV & OH Masons can not sit in their lodge at the same time.
