Quote: I am sure these changes are intended to discourage dissent from the membership.
Things don't change with an intention of their own accord, Steve. So whose intention was it to discourage dissent through these 'changes'?
If this isn't what you meant, then you really have to re-word your statement to avoid causing offence, because as it stands it's not an 'inference' (as Ian says) but an outright statement.
I realise there are important matters to discuss within the document, matters which don't really need to be side-tracked by this argument, but I can easily see why Jim W. (and perhaps others) feel offended.
