So you don't think they have a deep resentment towards Rossi?
But you admitted that I was right in the other thread.
Look up the meaning of the word syllogism, you can add it to the litany of common logical fallacies you constantly employ.
What I said on other threads was that cod psychology in general, and your use of cod psychology in particular, are completely illegitimate, and in fact an example of another logical fallacy, the "red herring". Your choice of a post from Barry of all people as proof of your thesis is particularly amusing.
What should be clear to you is that in the opinion of many on here Rossi is a conniving scumbag who uses the crazy element among his fandom and a sycophantic media to run personal vendettas against his rivals, probably at least partly in an attempt to gain competitive advantage; not much Freudian psychology involved in that.
I part company with some others in that I don't contend the above negates him being a great rider when his riding is considered in isolation, or from having wonderful accomplishments as a rider, and I do think you have some case insofar as diminishment of his very considerable achievements is concerned. Such diminishment follows systematic diminishment of the achievements of several other riders by many among his fans, however.
If this was an alternative universe in which pseudopsychological balderdash, as opposed to in this continuum, was somehow valid it escapes me why you contend events of the last 10 years would have caused psychological trauma to fans of MM or JL, who have clearly out performed Rossi in that period (JL over nearly the whole decade, MM in the last 4 years of that decade) or of Casey Stoner for that matter, whom he at best came close to matching in the first 6 years of that decade.
