 In her postings regarding this issue Dorothy King repeatedly contrasts 
 persons with students (are students not people?) and misinformed the 
 list on the number of speakers invited to, and participating in, the 
 debate. The play -which incidentally was written by a student - 
 highlighted both good and bad arguments made by parties on each side 
 of the debate, and made fun of Greeks who wished for the marbles to be 
 returned for nationalistic reasons.
 Indeed, it concluded that the best solution was for the British to 
 retain ownership of the Elgin marbes. King, by contrast writes as if 
 the whole thing was a matter of Greeks vs. English. On this point, is 
 also worth noting that no Greeks participated in the debate.
