Fair enough, unnecessary restrictions should be scrutinised and removed where possible, I have no heartache with that.
I just don't think it's right to put such blatant spin on a story to get publicity for your cause - it can't do your credibility any good at all, and for me personally at least, makes me less likely to want to support you.
Maybe it's the way of the world now to do this media hype thing, but does it do you any good results-wise?
