It is incredible how many self appointed experts in
this forum like to fire off the notion that a
dissenting view is uninformed.  I am at least as in
the loop as you have ever been Joe.  I have followed
this sport as long as almost anyone in this forum ever
has.  I know as many Rikishi as virutally anyone other
then a small handful of which you are not one.  You
aren't getting anymore "informed" then me in this
lifetime.  The only people who claim Sumo is more then
interesting entertainment are total fanatics.  That
doesn't make you right.  It is entertainment.  That
remains all that it is.  The kyokai have badly
overstepped common sense regarding Asashoryu this
time..and I do not consider myself a particular fan of
his one way or the other.

Translated you don't really have a point to make other
then to repeat the complete garbage that a few of you
have repeated in this forum.
