And you answered my question how? I don't know what you're looking for from me. to comfort your own sense of why you find him to be the worst kind of discriminator that you hate so much You must have me confused with some figment. The only less than complimentary things I ever said about Mojo were that 1. his attitude about people's inability to distinguish a sexual from a therapeutic situation was either sheltered or juvenile; 2. he's just another guy looking to run his affairs by his own lights and there's nothing particularly noble about that, as claims his spokesman, you; and 3. that he is self-absorbed and unrealistic if he expects the mainstream to go to extraordinary lengths to pay homage to his differing standard. I also acknowledged that paternalism contains elements of bigotry, although not intentional nor ugly. OTOH, I have supported him in his desire to establish a practice for men only given that separate sex facilities are common. I have supported his freedom of conscience and asserted that he should not be forced to massage those his conscience won't permit. I have supported his freedom of association, although you did not assert that, in that his business is too small, too personal, and too under the radar to apply the usual business regulations. I have consistently supported his practicing as he sees fit. I have neither been hateful nor have I ranted. I even tried to abate the tone of the criticism he was getting and stuck up for him several times. I'm sorry you were subjected to the mocking tone. I'm sorry your feelings were hurt. But you are doing him a disservice by lashing out willy-nilly with insults at everything and everyone not marching precisely to your drumbeat and incessantly chanting your tired mantra rather than arguing the points being made.
