Well, then I have to say that while you are exceptionally inept at polemics, you are a pretty good cheerleader.

Thanks for your damnation through faint praise. Though sometimes inarticulate, thanks to Nichiren's instructions in polemics, several dozens or more have come to chant Namu Myoho renge kyo. Nichiren, for example was one man and now, 35,000.000 people chant Namu Myoho renge kyo, many of whom, thanks to Nichiren's polemics. Please tell me of your expertise in polemics. Enquiring minds wish to know!

If this were a competition, I'd say that you are pretty far behind in the game in terms of numbers. But it's not a competition.

35,000.000 people chant Namu Myoho renge kyo

I am sure it has positive effect in their life.
