Well, I share Luke's assessment. The phrasing you used to compare shadow
swings and groping implies either levity or a disregard of the difference
between groping and a shadow swing. Regardless of the seriousness with
which you view "forcing" a shadow swing, it is clear that many other
people disagree, and your comparison is not appropriate, especially given
Maia's original request to AVOID any discussion of whether shadow swings
are appropriate.

Your assessment is inaccurate. This is not a matter where levity is
acceptable. Creating a situation which could force someone into close,
almost intimate proximity with a person perceived as emotionally or
physically threatening is inappropriate. A lesser problem is that one
can get a shadow who one considers personable, but very unpleasant
for swinging (for example, due to either height difference, or a body
position or weight distribution which unnecessarily strains one's own
body).
Asking about how to appropriately do dances with shadow swings seems
like asking how men can appropriately grope women during a dance.
I again think your attempt to inject levity into a conversation have
come across as crass and inappropriate. Asking about shadow swings
on a list for calling is pertinent; joking about men groping women
dancers isn't.
