[sumo] [off topic] Mitchell steroid report; Joshua's blatant misinformation

[artist at aloha.net]

This ( below) is why I blocked Joshua's address and info a long time ago-
after he pulled this on me for expressing what I know to be truth ( about
whatever the subject was at the time). Polite and  intelligent disagreement
is totally acceptable, but what he did ( and he is not the only one- he and
others send me ignorantly insulting email personally, so the list didn't see
what they were doing). This is not 3rd grade f¹godssake. I didn¹t spend 34+
years  ( and counting) in Japan studying sumo to have arguments with
egocentrics and ignorant groupies. But to share with people of genuine
interest, yes. There, I said it. Thank you Scott.
