Merle,
Tough, yes. As I am. But that is not "insult": that is Compassion.
Not done to harm or embarrass, but to encourage and "cure". There are NO
exceptions to this, not in classical history of our way, nor now.

(note, too: Stick is not for punishment; it is to physically stimulate
accu-pressure points on shoulder or back. My, what do they teach you where you
study/practice? And one "receives" the stick only by asking for it by a
special hand-signal. No worries. Compassion rules, not idiot
Machismo/Feminismo).
