Listen guys, you said my bopper mentality towards Rossi is unwarranted. Ok, I'll take that under consideration.
I would ask you to consider this: All racers have huge egos, it's in the nature of what they do. They have to, in order to risk what they do every race. And by big ego I don't mean they are conceited ........, but they are just filled with machismo and bravado, etc. So here comes Marc, a rider who could definitely have the potential to knock off all of Vale's records. You guys REALLY believe that no part of Marc would not want to see Vale get his 10th overall title, thereby making it a bit easier for himself to beat those records?
Now we have it. Despite supposedly deploring Rossi's late season 2015 antics you are really a fully paid up member of the Church of Rossi and totally on board with the articles of faith including his conspiracy theories about the 2015 title.
MM can do whatever he likes as long as he races legally and fairly, and there is more than ample precedent for non- contenders racing contenders, including Rossi himself at Motegi 2010 and Edwards at Estoril 2006. The late season "Rossi rules" which VR wished to introduce were purely of his own recent invention.
One of the problems you evangelists for the Church Of the Yellow Deity have is that you have never managed to attract an Aquinas figure to give you an even vaguely consistent theology. Your best bet imo would probably be to convert Kropotkin, but I fear he is an agnostic.
