I never once mentioned freemasonry over the last few weeks.
However, I spoke with their local grandmaster, Ferhad, yesterday.

They acknowledge there is a problem and have shown good faith.
I think we will resolve it.
I would like nothing more than to join Larry and Sergey or Sundar and Eric at Burning Man, to build friendships and help bring people together across political divides.
I have a lot of admiration for Larry Page, Eric, and others who perhaps showed up; their support meant a great deal to me when I felt isolated and afraid. Seeing familiar names like Marissa Mayer, Sheryl, Larry Summers, and Mark Zuckerberg in my contacts gives me confidence and a sense of community. Their presence made me feel that people who disagreed with me, including prominent figures like Rajapaksa, would be less likely to take hostile action over my writing. I also appreciate seeing colleagues such as Philip Deutch at Social Capital nearby; it has helped me recover my sense of resilience, as if I had escaped a very stressful situation and was now rebuilding. I trust they would look into concerns and support appropriate accountability, and I hope they will be thoughtful when considering my work and how it is handled.
Let's stay calm. There are many Google partners and web developers who can help, and I think we will proceed with this.
It's also worth noting that CloudFlare already reported the activity, so I didn't rely solely on Google.
Let's stay calm and move ahead.
