AOU old proposal amendments

In some instances, certain committee members and other commentators have resorted to the basest sort of exaggeration and unprofessional behaviour to get sensible proposals rejected, with Zimmerius being probably the high water mark of nonsense.

Interestingly, in these post-truth times, SACC have at some point (recently?) removed almost all of the discussion previously set out under the old Zimmerius proposal 441, leaving in place only the more measured comments of committee members. It probably casts everyone in better light (in context of the "whine" above) and I suppose has some implication, either in terms of how well-founded and useful that discussion was to anyone, or whether the above criticism may amount to "fair comment".
