My initial post was focused on blindness of fans not being isolated to Penn fanboys. I brought up the fact that a long-time member of the forum felt GSP took BJ down "whenever he wanted," which goes well beyond ethereal rationale and travels firmly into myopic irrationality.
I understand that I'm not going to convince a GSP fan that their hero lost any more than they'll convince me that BJ was beaten. My concern is minimally trying to keep things in perspective and avoid revisionist nonsense like "He took him down at will" and "he totally outwrestled Kos, etc..."

One thing that does hurt your argument a little and I think that a lot of people overlook. Cecil Peoples was the one that though BJ Penn won... I mean he is not a guy I would use to defend my agrument ever.
But other then that, I agree with your post and rep.
