The e-M@son's Charge

Brethren: The duties and charges of a Freemason are well suited to the Internet, and when you are thereon, they should be practiced in their fullest extent. You would be well advised to frame this and hang it in view beside your computer.

Honesty: to show the Craft as it is and how we wish it were.
Charity: to forgive those who speak out of malice or ignorance.
Strength: to refrain from being drawn into irrelevent arguments.
Temperance: to moderate your passions, and not rise to taunts.
Fidelity: to ever be mindful of your obligations.
Rectitude: to correct in ourselves what we see wrong in others.
Piety: to understand that our opinions are just that, opinions.
Tolerance: to know that others' opinions are also just opinions
Courtesy: to observe the rules of etiquette.
Equality: to appear neither condescending nor unduly humble.
Joy: to be happy, and communicate happiness.

Let our transactions on the Internet demonstrate by example what we as Freemasons aspire to. With our zeal and assiduity may we promulgate the genuine principles of the Craft, and diffuse the light of Wisdom. - author unknown
