IfL[edit]
Thanks for your message. I change what it said because it is voicing an opinion on how effective the communication is. For instance, if we were to replace "made it clear" with "waffled", "proclaimed", "insisted", "admitted" or "apologised", would that also be saying the same thing? Of course not, because it is casting the shadow of an opinion on things. Far better to use a neutral word to convey that is what they said, rather than trying to suggest how it was said.
I removed half of what I made clearer was a quote, rather than an unattributed opinion, because I didn't think it was actually adding anything to the statement. Naturally, the IfL will say that they intend to do their job. It's Press Release fluff, devoid of any real, new, information. However, if you think it's telling something significant I wouldn't argue over it. --Escape Orbit (Talk) 22:52, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
