And now I suppose you're trying to set up any action taken by Mensa here in his capacity as moderator as being influenced by him being one of those ee-vee-il Masons I suppose. I think you forgot to put your tinfoil hat on today or something.

I didn't see it as identifying those things as a "plot" or "conspiracy", as though there was some communal end goal in mind. But of course everyone will read their pre-conceived notions into these type of things. I myself prefer to keep an open mind and not just blindly accept the Official Narrativeᵀᴹ.

"Accurate and endorsable", or simply worth considering?

Not to mention that the masons are basically one big post-college fraternity. I dated a girl whose father is a mason, and he said that while he enjoyed being a member, the organization is far more boring than most people realize.

Virtually everything mensa does and believes is influenced by his Freemasonry and the principles which guide it. I don't think even he would deny that.

Yeah I maintained the membership software for one of their temples back in the late 90's. They like to maintain a certain mystique ... as a non-member I wasn't allowed to see anything but the office. I thought it was kind of like a grown up version of a tree house really. Nice people though, and they paid the bills on time.

I will concede that the organization as a whole is likely past its prime. That does not mean, however, that we shouldn't still maintain our vigilance.
