Is Professor Levi McLaughlin an SGI plant?

Dr. McLaughlin maintained in his latest video that Soka Gakkai practiced the principle of Zuiho Bini (Buddhism adapting to the culture of the countries to which it spreads). I tweeted him demonstrating that SGI does not practice Zuiho Bini. It incorporates Japanese culture into the countries in which it spreads and I gave the following examples: Exporting the Japanese language and expressions ("HAI", AAO, Esho Funi, Hobo Bari, etc); singing Japanese songs; excessive adulation for the Sensei (Forever Sensei song after most meetings); exporting Zen Bushido "follow no matter what" mentality; very top leaders predominantly Japanese; authoritarian rather than democratic structure.

I practiced with SGI in the United States for 15 years and in Italy for 4 years. In both countries, SGI failed to practice Zuiho Bini. Dr. McLaughlin is either an SGI plant or a coward. The Dr. Professor could have attempted to demonstrate how I was wrong (which he couldn't do) so instead, he disallowed my tweet.
