You really need to get over this. They are different arts, with different rulesets. You're just making yourself look foolish.

Whatever Johnny, Ju-Jutsu has one purpose. It's not a sport or a game with rules that can be changed to make a new game... That would be Judo. Ju-Jitsu had no belt ranking system, again, that would be Judo. Ju-Jitsu incorporates many weapons and techniques that KILL people for real not the "SYMBOLIC" death by submission. That would be Judo...
"While the old form, jujutsu, was studied solely for fighting purposes, Kano's new system is found to promote the mental as well as the physical faculties. While the old schools taught nothing but practice, the modern Judo gives the theoretical explanation of the doctrine, at the same time giving the practical a no less important place".
.....T. Shidachi, 1892
Seems like the differences were clear enough back then... I guess that is no longer the case.
