"So we have the harm to Mojo of potentially experiencing lust in his heart weighed against the harm to others of his discrimination"

He could have just said that. Sheesh! It is an Islamic religious belief that extramarital sex is illegal and so is participating in any situation which might stir up sexual thoughts and thus might lead to sex. Why couldn't he have just said that he had a religious scruple about touching the skin of a woman other than his wife, and a scruple against touching a homosexual because they are impure or evil--or whatever his mind has wrapped itself around for that one? Presumably, the lust argument is only for women, but who knows?

"When I was trying to make the point to Jewel yesterday that the least-harm approach would be for Mojo to massage the most vulnerable clients, the women, as many as he can, to protect them from the less ethical masseurs to whom they would otherwise go, I was stunned that he couldn't get the simple logic of that."

Simple logic indeed, until we throw in the premise that touching a woman contaminates his purity in some way. And with his incredible concern for homosexuals it could be like a gay parade leading up to his clinic for wonderful massages without risk of harm!

So his whole thing was a farce? It had nothing to do with harm to the client? The clients only were at minimal risk with other therapists--none at all with MOHO the Upright.

Yes, this goose chase did last a month, didn't it? I really feel used and angry! I guess I will go get a massage and get "invigorated", as Jewels calls it! :-)
