My dojo experience includes on occassion when sensee struggled with me over a stick. For a while we both grasped the stick two-handed, back and forth, back and forth.
Then sensee removed one hand and punched me in the face. Obvious move.
Dr. Bob could delete any offensive or racist post he chooses. It is a friggin hard drive sitting in some basement room of the university. Its not some cosmic record that can never be modified.
All this other stuff about ECT and who can and can't post is a result of someone wrangling over their obligations to their profession - trying to hold on to the stick. it is not about removing obviously racist and offensive posts. Even if that is what it is about, the criterea could read "attack ideas, not people." The good doctor, the university, and the capitalist system of medicine have reached a difficult juncture in their therapy and they are demonstrating classic symptoms of resistance.
Well, guess what ....
I am the resistance!
