Jesus you aren't half emboldened by actually getting some support for your whining are you?

Pleasant and unpatronising
I might generally agree with you but, in this context at this time, the desire to move the content out of sight feels more like a fingers in the ear, don't want my fun spoilt attitude, no matter what - it's an important issue and its totally pertinent to this thread.
I have, however, started another thread so the flag wavers can carry on oblivious to real world concerns

Good old JTG, why not read the thread first and see what i've been trying to do? (e.g. get this thread back to what it should be)

then that's your take on what I'm saying despite me saying that that is NOT what I want at all. It's not a fingers in ears response, the exact opposite. Nor do I want to move content OUT of this thread. I thought a new one, a prominent one, would be better for this issue to be properly discussed.

Ok, those who are interested in talking athletics should stay in the thread,otherwise, find some other thread, yeah? That simple enough?

Fair enough - I've said what I want anyway.

Ok, if that's the case, then good on Ohurougu. The out-of-season testing thing is horrendous. As I understand it, she passed plenty of tests just before and after the ones she missed. Athletes have to give testers a time and place they will be every day of their lives without exception, and are not even given a phone number they can call to inform of a change of plans. Oooo, she missed three tests: it sounds really bad until you look at the actual circumstances.
Fifteen kilometres?
No approval?
Tai Chi only?
Ra Ra Ra?
Not my call, aqua, you're the authority here.
My bad.

ARRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!
The drug issue IS pertinent to a discussion on athletics, the political one isn't
ffs.
Not trying to police, just trying to make sure important issues are raised at a broader level that gets the attention it deserves. Its my opinion. That's all
That's exactly what the CCP leadership have been saying throughout the games.
But the protest zones are empty.
Doublespeak?
Fuck sake!
Woof
I'm just saying you need a much, much thicker skin.
And I assert that this is exactly the forum/thread/place for making a peaceful political point.
Where else, fifteen kilometres away?

There are other threads for the discussion of the drug issue. Please move to those if you wish to continue. I believe that everyone here is now perfectly well-informed as to the possibility.
Human rights you mean, and the violation that the olympics are of them?
Good!

Finally I get the bloody point of the bunfight on this thread.
It's not about doping at all.
Jessie: I always thought of you as a mature and interesting poster. You going crazy today on this thread made me think huh?
It took you some time to actually come out with the main reason why you are disrupting this thread, for a while there you were tag-teaming with Nigel and really weren't being that clear.
How many people on this thread supported the pro-Tibet/anti-Chinese government protests around the world as the olympic torch made it's way to China...I believe this would be a great question to ask in order to kick off the thread/debate you seem to want to have.
I'd be interested to know more about the things that have gone on over there/are going on over there to falicitate this Olympics, your first-hand view is appreciated.... maybe not on this thread though....that said, I can completely see why you have chosen to register you protest here.

Honestly, aqua, I prefer to be a little "closer to the action" if I'm involved in a peaceful protest.
Fifteen clicks just doesn't cut it - we'd all be in a field agreeing with each other while the targets of our protest were Ra Ra Ra'ing back at the stadium - just like in China, except that here, the "protest zones" are spookily empty - nobody wants to be filmedbeing there!
I realise that we need to "clamp down for security", but I'm not breaking any FAQ's and I'm amazed that after reading this thread you think that any dissention should be shunted off out of sight and mind.

No it isn't. There are other threads for it and you are disrupting this one. Take it to one of those, or start a new one if they don't suit what you have to say and link to it from here by all means. Don't continue here.
Message fully understood.
And I'm absolutely fucking disgusted by it.
This has been a real revelation to me.
Fuck and fuck and fuck.
