I simply took his logic to its conclusion. My post was intended to use humour to make a point about how ridiculous his posts were.

And just in case you think I am being rude about your language skills, two subsequent posters from non-English speaking backgrounds understood my point (apologies Ray, I suspect your English is better than mine).

I would point out again that the reason I criticize the Chinese government is because I like & respect Chinese people. That is why I think they should have the right to freedom of speech, freedom of conscience & full political freedom. Perhaps if China granted its subjects these rights Tibetans would not be so desperate to be free of Chinese rule.
