It's not WHAT they are saying, it's that I've made the decision to have no interaction with them. Again, not sure how these comments are getting through the filter.

As the author of a site YOU have that right. It is funny to me though that the blocked/ deleted comments still come through as comments via email. Thanks for sticking to your guns and your values. I have a lot of respect for not swaying from what you feel is right. Adam I understand. As the author of a site YOU have that right.

There's a lot of history and it is better for me to just stop now. It's my issue completely, I take ownership of my imperfection.

What examples of them being a developed nation do you have? What I see is a Bejing-sized facade. I'm not attacking China or its people. I just see the games as one giant piece of propaganda masked behind some sport. What the bloggers on the ground said was that this was same old oppression.
