"I seems to me that the harm crowd has clarified it's perception sufficiently for you to take a crack at it if you choose. Feel free to either do so or to ignore it. Your choice."

Yes Karen. I have reviewed the discussion of the harm crowd, as you know. I did take a "crack" at it as you may recall with a long explanation of why the mojo scenario is not harmful and should not be classified as such or even as innocuous discrimination... you CHOSE to ignore it????

Now you still want to MANAGE mojo in some way that qualifies him as a detriment. Retraining suggests that he is unqualified or that his view point is deficient. You haven't validated that viewpoint you have only declared it...repeatedly.

"The most harm is avoided by him servicing the most vulnerable, namely women.

Your error. Mojo believes people are at risk of harm by the situation, not because one or both of them are inethical types. In concruity with his belief statement, his ethical treatment of women would be to refer them to ethical service providers that are women.

"If he wants to take an even stronger stand, he could become an activist for upgrading the professional standards,

The ethics standards are fine in mojo's view. Declaring standards does not always result in practice that meets the standards.

"IMO the best solution for Mojo and the community would be for him to take on as many at-risk clients as possible."

From the very beginning until now you have insisted that mojo sees a particular type of person as at risk...from the very beginning until now I have tried to demonstrate for you that you are not seeing his perspective at all. Do you usually have debates that go over several weeks in which you do not ever try to see the perspective of the other side?

If he can't see his way clear to do that, then his issue is not really avoiding harm but his own aversion to massaging certain classes of people.

Ya don't say ... yep she does.
