Gilly, there seems to be a bit of an issue here whether Saville was involved with the masons or not, and also a certain reluctance to even contemplate/discuss the possibility because that might put a slur upon the masons as being somehow complicit in peadophilia/child abuse.
The fact that Saville was involved with masonry at some level doesn't necessarily mean that anyone is implying (not me anyway) that masons in general are peado's.
OK?
Cheers.
Though I don't think there's a reluctance to discuss the possibility of his being one. To my mind anyeay, it's more that so many people across the internet are stating things about it as being fact, based on stuff like that Sutcliffe / Bruno photo, which in reality is
not proof, as discussed earlier. And that's the 'smoke' that can be said to be proof of the fire. It's flawed logic, and so not helpful in trying to determine the truth, yet I've seen nobody elsewhere even question it.
Your comment pretty much gets to the crux of what's bugging me, because I don't know whether they
are involved at some high level. It was purely the implication (not from yourself) that it's a well known fact that Masons (generally) are a set of paedo's.
Being married to one, and friends with others, who I 100% know are as sickened by the likes of Saville as I am, I hope you can see why I'd find that line of thinking highly offensive.
So thanks for clarifying your stance, & it's cool.
