It's not easy to stand up at an AGM or Council meeting and spend half an hour trying to explain a complex issue and its background to everyone attending. The ideal way would be to prepare a report and get it published to allow everyone to consider it beforehand and perhaps even discuss it on the forum. However when a report is censored (and I'm not talking about Michael Hanley's) and moderators don't allow discussion of any controversial issues on the forum then it's not so simples.
