Considering that there are basicly only four of us discussing this, and we know where each of us stands, I do have to admit that having a vote is pretty silly (and yes, I "voted").  

As a potential compromise, I have tried to solve the issue by adding the text "O.T.O. claims that" in front of each reference to "similar to Freemasonry"... this is backed up by the citations and is a true statement.  O.T.O. does make this claim.
