Tom, thank you for posting this. I for several years spoke out about abusive teachers, in particular Dennis Merzel. Whilst my contact with Aitken Roshi was sadly all too brief, he was one of the only major teachers who would listen and who understood. He will always be remembered by me as someone who actually walked the walk.
