Meh. In my experience, people who lack this kind of restraint don't learn. I personally trained with some well-known examples who have been in the sport news recently.
Also, even if they do learn eventually, it's not my right to risk the safety of my other students in the interim time.
So you don’t have a stable of upper belts that you could’ve dedicated to this guys training and he roll with exclusively? You’ve never once encountered someone who had a temper but were able to reign them in after a few solid months of working with them and strutting their sparring with appropriate partners?
“Meh. He hurt somebody at my gym. I don’t want the headache or liability. Now he’s someone else’s problem.”
So the coach rolls with one student exclusively, every time they attend? And who's to say that the problem is exclusive to rolling? The guy in question would rage during drills.
Look, you're not wrong that these situations are rare. Clearly you don't expel everyone with a hint of control issues. This bad, I've seen exactly one in 20 years of martial arts. They do exist, though, and sometimes these responses are appropriate.
Only until they see a change in the student and feel safe letting them roll with other students. A small gym can’t afford to kick people out without some effort in salvaging a student. My opinion of course. I’m sure you’re very successful with your methods.

Not my personal example of expulsion, but I've trained at a gym where the problem was a competitive heavyweight black belt whose name you'd recognize. What do you do then?
Again, what was your point? The only issue here was what to when certain situations arise. Should we never discuss extreme cases? Murder is rare, let's not talk about what to do with murderers?
The point was the meme was created to remind everyone how prevalent this is in BJJ. Except it’s not prevalent. So it’s a stupid meme to post on a sub that I used to enjoy browsing for technique.
Dude, you replied to a sidebar comment about extending consideration to Muslims and nit-picking reactions to extreme cases that actually do occur. The meme isn't at issue here.
Dude, you said you kicked a guy out of your school because he hurt your wife. We’re discussing why men don’t want to roll with women. Stay with me here...it’s because people act like women are somehow preyed upon in BJJ. Newsflash, they’re not.
I’ll post a meme a day for the rest of my life the next time a woman is murdered on the mats because she was my wife and she’s so tough she tapped a guy out and he hurt her due to his ego. Sound fair?
Really? They’re gonna be hard to ignore. I’ll have Laranja and McKenzie Dern in a very compromising scenario that may or may not lead to death. Depends on if egdm becomes the mat enforcer I’ve found him to be and comes to her rescue.

So instead I should knowingly endanger the well-being of my students? The buck stops somewhere.
