    So stopping people telling the truth about stuff is bad then?

    Ok.

    So.

    I think I've got this.

    Sorry homework - not written philosophy on the day

    I was talking about weak homework, (gakka) submitted prior to the grading as as pre requisite for elligibility.

    And they weren't South Coast kenshi all, several were from "the other side."

    The source

    Gassho

    The source is reliable and a damn sight more impartial than others posting.

    I think it's the best way forward.

    That way all of Mizuno's followers can follow him into the wilderness.
