As I told Matthew, I was not referring to him, but to the hand-wringers who rush out and wail and rend their garments because people are bullying Graham or whoever makes passive-aggressive shots, then hides behind "spirituality", etc.
It reflects an attitude that is incompatible with budo.

I think it well applies to those who demand an immediate halt to all questionings of the P/A posters and insist that we value their "point of view" (inexperienced and without ability) as highly as those of people with vast experience and proven ability.
It would be nicer of me not to phrase it like that, ha ha!
But it would be nicer of the P/A posters just to shut up and for their defenders, also, not to defend the indefensible.
Cheers.
