Craftaphobia

I have invented a new word - I have called it craftaphobia. Okay, it's a bit cumbersome. A little bit unwieldy. But I think it encapsulates the unjustified fear and paranoia of Freemasonry. Examples of craftaphobic literature include Stephen Knight's 'The Brotherhood' and Martin Short's 'Inside the Brotherhood'. Unfortunately their writing is far more compelling than reality, and has therefore taken on the mantle of 'urban myth'.
