I am well aware of what you are doing, which is arguing for the fun of it, which is what most of those you oppose are also doing.
I was merely pointing out the weakness of your case in terms of most of what you have argued on this thread ie drawing moral equivalence between Suzuki remarking on a tow from a future team-mate being involved in Rossi's pole by a small margin at Mugello, and the lack of comment about a pole won by 0.716 seconds by someone who is not Rossi's future team-mate next year at Assen, of taking issue with a few posters on here for "hating" Rossi when in the wider world actual hatred of MM and Lorenzo including cheering of crashing by them is massively greater, and most of all calling posters on here guilty of being conspiracy theorists when your boy has alleged a massive conspiracy to the world press, and has far from withdrawn said allegations. Unless and until he does, those of your allegiance are not in much of a position to complain about conspiracy theories I wouldn't have thought.
I do have occasional things with which I take genuine umbrage, questioning the courage or toughness of a man of a man who raced 2 days after having a clavicular fracture plated being one of them, although that was more Paps than you.
My opinion is still that Suzuki had a weak complaint. Vinales was able to get to the top of the time sheets in the first half of Q2 while following Rossi. They swapped positions for the 2nd half and Rossi was able to get to the top of the time sheets, however they timed it so Vinales still had time to get in another lap to attempt to beat Rossi's time. Vinales got very close to getting pole, but I imagine the goal between MV and VR was to make sure they both got front row starts. Goal accomplished. The remaining front row position went to Iannone who by far was the worst offender (if we are to consider slipstreaming in qualifying to be wrong) since he slipstreamed JL the entire session even though JL made it crystal clear he didn't want him there.
Suzuki was just sour they missed their first pole position by such a small margin. If the time Vinales set while he followed Rossi was good enough for pole, Suzuki would not have issued a single complaint! Perhaps Suzuki should've been more focused on inspecting Vinales' bike so they could have caught the electrical problem that would ruin his race start.
