In the not so distant past, there was a person, who we will call "WebMaster" that set up a website for an organization. He maintained it and kept it alive for quite some many years.
One day, a "new leader" came to him and requested access to this site, no, more like demanded it and stated he wanted to control the content on this site more. Access was denied as that the "WebMaster" could not grant the levels of access the "new leader" demanded. So instead, the "WebMaster" offered to create a domain for himself and others to maintain and control. Thus "osmasonry.com" was created. It was the brain child and intellectual property of the "WebMaster".
Well this did not sit well with the "new leader". This "new leader" seethed at the notion that the "WebMaster" hosted and controlled the site. Sohe took it upon him self to commission and steal the idea of this domain and hand it to someone else who barely knew anything about the Internet, Domains and Websites. Thus "osmasonry.net" was founded.
The funny part of the whole thing was that the "WebMaster" was told by the "new leader", 'Hail, we shall use your idea for many years to come and we shall supply all sorts of information to be updated onto this site'. This never happened, instead all of the new information and content was thrown into the dot NET site, unbeknownst to the "WebMaster" and others throughout the lands. When the site was ready to be released, there was much confusion!
Brothers in the realm thought that the "WebMaster", who fo so long supported and created the original website did the work and complained that this new content was terrible and complained to the "WebMaster". It was then that everyone found out, as the rumor had had its way through the realm, that "the old WebMaster didn't want to do the website any longer and was un cooperative", which was a lie and the furthest thing from the truth.
You see, there are those within the Realm and Lands that purposely spread lies and half-truths because they are jealous, power hungry or just plain mad. This is NOT Masonry in its true form, but a perverted attempt to control those with talent and subvert them out of the realm.
When the new "NET" site went live, the "WebMaster" emailed the "new leader" and their "slavemaster" to inform them that the contents of graphics and the like were the property of the "WebMaster" and since there was more than enough complaints about the new site, to please remove them. This was done because the "WebMaster" did not want his reupation diminished from such sub standard work. Nothing more. The "WebMaster" wished them well and continued on his merry way.
So the graphics and the like were removed and a new rumors was started. This involved distortions from the "new leader" stating such filth as "the WebMaster is mad with power and greed" and "the WebMaster is threatening us, so we changed the site more". Again, this was the most furthest things from the truth.
A few years has passed since this occurred and as things would have it, their "slavemaster" never renewed the domain and it lapsed into the realm of deletion. With the domain on the verge of oblivion, the old "Webmaster" put in a request to the GODS of the Internet that when this domain is to be deleted, with no contact from the "slavemaster" or anyone else, to please give it back to the rightful owner.
Thus 60 + 5 days elapsed for the GODS of the Internet to await the "slavemaster" to renew this NET domain and no response was heard. On the 66th day, the GODS handed the Domain to the old "WebMaster" and said "this is now your property, legally".
And so dear Reader, begins a new life for the domains of OSMASONRY. There will be changes made and new things added. Rest assured that "if" the powers to be demand or start new rumors, contact me for the truth. I hold the Masonic Teachings in high regard and follow them as we should. Others interpret them for their own designs and mad power struggles.
