I’m becoming quite adept at turning the other cheek, though whether of
the upper or lower anatomy must remain a matter for fascinating
conjecture, for as all good readers of Plato will know, all ideal
phenomena of the upper kind have their imperfect (indeed, sometimes
odiferous) counterparts in the world below.

So now it's time to deal with sundry affairs: Tony Martin, you begin
your critique of my position by personally insulting me, before
launching into a vitriolic ramble, and one that is based on a
misreading of my position. “Your whole theory relating to Tibet is
very similar to all of the other respondents supporting the continued
illegal Chinese occupation of a sovereign nation,” you say. “Your
position appears to be similar to other invaders of land in our
history, or to the various slave trading states over the years.
Namely, don’t look at how badly off Tibetans are now in comparison to
the rest of China and the world, but rather look at how well off they
are compared to how they might be if their invading masters weren’t so
benevolent and here to help them.”

I have presented no theories whatsoever relating to Tibet, nor have I
ever justified the Chinese invasion and occupation of Tibet.
