I dont think compromising on duo-universal suffrage in 2012 will lead to indefinite postponement.
It is obvious Beijing and the government is dragging on the issue. But even so, we can still hope for some improvement in 2012 and from that we can have some idea where we are going.
I am not suggesting you and other pro-democracy legislators rollover on government's upcoming proposals. But at least give it a chance to flash their cards, before you can plot your next move.
Besides, I don't think the majority of HK public would accept nothing but duo-universal suffrage in 2012. They might stick to that wish, but they are still considerably pragmatic about the 2017/2020 timetable.
Save your energy to cry foul when Beijing is to rule out 2017 in coming years...!
Oh, don't get me wrong, I intend to do precisely that. All I am saying is let's not lose sight of the ball. By focusing on an ultimate goal and keep reminding those in power that our aim is to achieve US as soon as possible, we hope the package for 2012 will be a meaningful one, and not just a regurgitation of the 2005 package. I have no intention to vote down any package for 2012 before it is hatched.

I have been waiting for your new yahoo blog.
When are you going to release your blog website?
我和你一樣固執，但我會把它看成對原則的堅持。
人變差是因為他們不能堅持我己的原則，意志力底的人才會變。
Oh, its already on. The address is http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/ronnkwtong
If you have trouble getting on, please let me know.
固執本身並不是一樣壞東西，但我們需要知道我們是為了事情而固執。
固執表示一個人有原則，有理想，沒有理想的人是不會固執的。但我認為人亦應該與現實妥協一下。沒有人想放棄自己的原則的，但到了某些時候，人應該學懂接受現實。
不要為了一些實現不了的事情而苦了自己。
我很欣賞你為了爭取 2012 雙普選的心，但現在跟本實現不了，不如為 2017 的細節而努力吧!!
同意。但妥協也要有原則。毫無條件的妥協只是投降，不是妥協。放棄2012，要看2017和2020有否真正的普選。如果沒有，妥協2012只會帶來無限拖延。我們應為任何可達至真正普選的方向努力。其中重要的一環，是今年的立法會選舉。如果民主派不能保着三分一的否决權，如何為2012努力？
Ronny,
