:::I understand what you are saying.  If you will give me some time to complete the task, I will put quotation marks on the statements that are quotations (to make it clear that they are quotations).  However, you bring up a very important point yourslef:  Some of the bald statements ARE facts, no matter what some non-Masons may believe  (As of the current version, I beleive these are all referenced).  These are not matters of "Masons say this, while others say that"... they are more a matter of "This is true, but others do not think it is".  I would be interested to hear how you would propose to deal with this kind of situation.
