"I really admired you back when you swore off puddles...

Avast ye woman... never would I have sunk to such a level... puddles-r-me-life

What I swore off of was the use of flame words like idi*t and fuc*er and such. That was only because the language police ruined very lively and interesting discussions by harping on decorum. Besides, flaming words demonstrate that one is at a loss for expressing the essence of discord, and is too weak to challenge it directly....as is harping on decorum btw...

...which carries a certain weight that Mojo must recognize and accommodate in some constructive fashion if he's going to get what he wants.

recognize??? The man could hardly have taken the stand that he did unless he recognises the status quo, analyzes its merit, weighs the pros and cons of taking his stand and determines as a matter of intelligence and conscience that his position is justified as a matter of good conscience.

Accommodation: Is merely his willingness to ensure that his operation is, while being a positive and healthy service to his clients, causing harm to no one...which he has done.

What you meant by accommodation was to agree to not be who he is because it makes you uncomfortable.

Chris bragged that he could prosecute the guy for his behavior, and that any defense I could muster would be crushed...ooooh wadamaaa'n ... lol. When challenged to put up or shut up, he went silent.

You kept harping that he should change his practice but the only reason you could offer was because that’s the way everyone else does it and we wouldn’t want to throw a wrench in the system.

Lots of lame allegations were cast at him but they amounted to simple baseless character assassination.

Accommodate what...your views of his character (which are frankly a bit hypocritical given your complaints)...would that make you feel better?
