I agree with you that it was wrong, but even an SOS would not have stopped it.
Please do not state what you don't know. If alpa had fought it we don't know what may have happened/changed because we did not try. It really bothers me when people know something would, or would not, have happened when we never tried. It's a cowardly way of saying I did not want to fight.
