Brethren , sorry for my above post if it offends anyone but have to be honest .
And I to have seen what u explained in your older post its sad to see it happen

KPM, I'm glad to hear that Lodge was put on notice. If they want to be a specialty lodge they should say so. The men who were blackballed should never have made it as far as the ballot. They should have been taken to dinner at another lodge and continued from there. A sad state of affairs in our Craft...
Back home, a blackball automatically gets the notice of the GL. Why? Because it's rare someone not qualified to be a member makes it that far.
It's a shame that this is happening in your neck of the woods, and a bigger shame no one is looking into their actions. Makes me wonder what sort of LEOs they are, as well...
