I think perhaps your larger message is that many people seem to only be trying to get China to “moderate” its policies rather than calling for full independence and a Free Tibet? This is often a problem for movements of national liberation; just look at how long governments tried to get Assad to act more reasonably in Syria rather than to call for his removal (which is now arguably the only option).

I am sympathetic to your situation but I would advise you not to alienate many of your natural supporters who may not yet understand the need for full independence. Having worked myself with the Sandinista government who originally overthrew the dictator Somoza in Nicaragua in 1979, I speak from some experience. A broad coalition is often needed to force change, and allies are needed to form that. If you toned down your arguments you might find yourself working with more people and then gradually being able to influence them to take a clearer stand towards independence. Avaaz reaches MILLIONS of people, but if you alienate them you lose access to those people. What is better, raising the profile of suffering in Tibet to millions of people, or remaining ideologically pure in your political objectives but with far far fewer listeners?

I don’t expect you to post this on your website, but I ask you to seriously consider this point, made from someone who really cares about TIbet and supports full and total independence.
