"We encourage the Executive Board to consider how to support anthropologists working online, and to encourage further online collaboration and dissemination among AAA members. This will strengthen the discipline, and also permit more timely discussion and engagement among AAA members… We view our online role as anthropologists as contributing a valuable service to the discipline we love. We are hopeful that this episode in our shared history will prove to catalyze important and inclusive dialogue regarding who we are as anthropologists as well as the channels we use to communicate with one another. We encourage the EB and the AAA membership as a whole to participate in this online community, to hear and join with the voices that are coming from within our discipline. This is an opportunity to move past marginalization and work together toward rebuilding a truly interdisciplinary anthropology based on mutual respect." Via frittelle Delete the scoop?

The punch line is that in some of the most extreme cases, one way that a sufferer can be distracted from phantom perceptions of the ey is to run an electrical current into the eye socket. Or, as the author, Howie Le, puts it: 'They taser their phantom eye into submission.'
