It is unfortunate.

I am a supporter of AT but have been aware of this tendancy for some time (see thread ‘AT – vilified for vigelance’ where I stated:

“Thirdly they need to moderate their language. Strident opinions may (?) be acceptable in a discussion forum but they are inappropriate for a publically funded organisation – also unwise.”

It is especially unwise when making a submission on the application of a nationally prominent and supportive journalist.

I feel that the observation is tainted by this language and should be withdrawn by AT – regardless of the context. An apology to the applicant might even be appropriate?
