As WE ALL BY NOW KNOW this part of the Fuji Shugaku Shoshu is a collection of rumours included
to fill in gaps in history. The author says so but you don't post that VITAL information.

The passage that you neglected to mention was this:

"The biographies are based on whatever information I could gather from stories that were orally
told. Even so, the recorded biographies are miniscule in number and frequently inaccurate...
it is my hope that persons of talent will emerge in the future to correct and assist me in this task."
Fuji Shugaku Yoshu p180

Some of these rumours come from anti-Fuji Sect sources and were invented by desparate "Nichiren Brand X-shu"
saddoes like yourself to try and discredit the Fuji School. The only purpose that the author
had in recording these was for historic archiving purposes. As we see they were only recorded on the premis
that they were just rumours and should be correctly with accurate information in later years.

Little did the author he know that in later years a little twerp like you would neglect to add his annotation of this
fact thus totally destroying the context for lame-arsed propaganda purposes.

BTW Fuji Shugaku Yoshu (or Fuji-Shuo Gaku Yoo Shuo as you call it) was not written "this Century" by Hori Nichiko Shonin
(or Horii Nikkyo as you call him) he merely edited older scripts that were written by Nissei Shonin in 1662.

You are so laughably innacurate in every way possible, but I guess thruth is a rare commodity in your cybercult.

As "Fuji Shugaku Yoshu" is a recurring issue on this ng perhaps everone can print off this post so that we don't have to mention
it again (send a copy to WT as well so that they can adequately prepare for their next "Let's trash the Heritage" feature)
