fellow man, either by a considerable gift or a sum of money or
by teaching him a trade or by putting him in the way of business
so that he may earn an honest livelihood and not be forced
to the dreadful alternative of holding out his hand for charity.
This is the highest step and summit of charity's golden ladder

Thanks. The pity is that it's only my April Fools' Day gag ;D Seriously, I can't see Brad being banned from MFoL as, while he is utterly unmasonic, the powers that be there seem to find him "entertaining" and keep giving him the benefit of their official double standards  |

Ironically, he has been banned for one week as punishment for posting the pic making fun of retarded people and the (Jack)Ass-in-a-Hole pic (which is easy to figure out, although one of the American posters had to explain to the Brits what it meant  )according to Bro. Bill. I think some of the Admins are finally getting fed up with him. |

Ironic indeed: Perhaps I'm psychic!?  Still, it took Brad making fun of people with disabilities, for them to act and, even then, the ban you describe is only temporary, while those who respond to his repeated foul insults in kind (or much less) are banned outright!? Insults, hypocrisy, foul language, lies, forgeries and apparent scams, what more abuses are they willing to tolerate for the sake of "entertainment"?  I bet, despite the short term of the ban, Brad will not be able to wait and manages to slip in there on a proxy, to post under an alias (he makes it obvious by his characteristically lousy spelling and grammar)  To be fair, I too had long bent over backward, giving Brad the benefit of my grave doubts, until it became patently obvious he was playing me for a sucker and that the many damning testimonies against him ( example linked) were basically correct  |
