Seriously, those on the path of enlightenment in the Buddhist meaning can easily appear as such by those who know little about such experiences. And don't you think he could be and act and appear much worse given the fact that his homeland has been victim of cultural genocide for a number of decades now?
Don't hate him because of his disposition despite what he's endured.

I dont support silencing the guy - he should be encouraged to speak up as much as he likes and perhaps the West might start to realise he has nothing much to say.

Nothing to much say? The achievement of happiness, peace, understanding, compassion, and the elimination of misery, anger, and destructive desire isn't much to you?
Do you understand what you're saying? Do you even know anything about the Dalai Lama and Tibet?
Do you want the Tibetans to give up who and what they are and just be Chinese? Do you wish to allow the destruction of Tibetan Buddhism and culture?
