As I type, Jatuporn is on the Red Shirt stage giving his answer to PM Abhisit's proposed reconciliation plan. The #redshirt stream on Twitter for the past half hour keeps alternating between:

Red Shirts accept the plan! What a great day for Thailand!

AND

Red Shirts say screw the plan. What now?

I must be living here too long, because I can completely imagine a conversation (with a Thai) in which they could say exactly the same thing and mean both. And perhaps neither.

Circular elocution in high context culture. Gotta love it.

UPDATE (6:41 PM) Ugh. Now that Sean dude from Australia is onstage summarizing. Hope someone's putting it on Youtube!

UPATED (7:16 PM): Protestors agree to PM's "roadmap," but don't agree to actually do anything, such as, most importantly, leave.
