Turnoi has tampered with the thread's title as a joke. However, I don't regard what has happened in Beijing as a joke at all. And the Brighton Spartan posts are an unwelcome distraction in my view.
Still awaiting news on the fate of the Beijing Spartans who were detained in their dozens. Not being a defender of China, I'm not so quick as others to blame the Spartans or the Chinese restaurant owner for what ensued regarding the detentions in Beijing of the foreign Spartans. Anyway, I'll continue to monitor the net. I'm sure we'll get more news in a day or two.
