Too true!
However, everyone's got the right to take direct action when it concerns their own bodies/ feelings. If I was about about to dance with someone who i really feared would cause me injury I think I'd say something like "I'm not doing drops at the moment, would you mind not leading any?" or "I've got a dodgy shoulder and i really need to protect it."
Admittedly, even this side-steps the issue somewhat but would probably produce a (temporary) result and might create overall improvement as well. It saves face and gives control back to the follower who doesn't then have to whinge ineffectually behind the scenes without getting her needs met.
What doesn't work at all is dropping veiled and hints on the forum which has all the blokes worrying that it could be them.
