Re: uke getting hurt

Hi Mary,

I'm sorry this thread is getting derailed, as I agree it could be an interesting discussion.

With sincere respect, though, if Keith calling uke "idiot" is up for discussion, it seems to me the actual situation is the operative one to address, even though you originally wanted to use the quote a a jumping-off point, and even though, notwithstanding further clarification, as an individual, you still might not use the term.

Questions of etiquette aside, would you agree that uke seems to have acted foolishly?

I also was wondering with respect to these issues how much the customs and expectations from one's own training affect our judgments. Thoughts?

Best,

David Henderson
