The mojo scenario is now focused on 'harm'? The question has been raised and studied at some depth by tim, karen, x, neocon, myself and I'm not sure who else. At this point no-one remains who is claiming that mojo is doing any direct harm. The following link is a review of my view point offered at karen's request (sort of). In it I have discussed all levels of harm that could be alleged, and specifically I've specifically addressed the question of 'discrimination'. Message 19366003 I would be very interested in knowing if your concerns have been addressed (not just how much you are against discrimination, that is a given). At this point the position of mojo criticism is as strong as it was at the start but the justification has evolved a bit. As I said the critics are not able to define a specific harm but are certain harm exists, they feel it in their gut, and it is apparently of an undefinable insidious nature. That even if mojo isn't doing anything harmful, the attitudes that could propogate from the mojo scenario are. Even that the harm is there but the harmed just can't detect it (tree in the forest analogy). I am not being sarcastic this is the reality of what has become of the mojo scenario. Some people have copped to being suspicious that there is a dangerous muslim undercurrent that is the real motivation in the whole thing. I think there is merit in that suspicion (being what is the real concern of the critics), more for some than for others. Since it was refuted as part of the Hypo, it is not a valid reason to attribute harm to the mojo scenario. Solon being the most outspoken about it. Solon specifically included you in that allegation and as an affiliate of his twisted reversioning revisioning and gigantic leaping to conclusions.
