How about the following quote? Explain why you have a different
interpretation:

"Board Member Intermediation

"There seems to be a considerable amount of posting as well as
correspondence from our leadership and technical support staff
expressing their various opinions on what is appropriate or not
appropriate regarding the forum. The impact of this intermediation
with the membership is noticeable.

"I did want to express concern about board members expressing
displeasure with various posts or moderator actions and suggesting
also that comments referring to themselves or their colleagues be
removed. This has been exacerbated by requests to ban others from the
forums. This action combined with various comments from our leadership
about shutting down the forums lends a chilling effect to the process
and contributes to dysfunctional forum moderation.

"Even if our leaders are hyper-sensitive to criticism they need to be
models of decorum for all of us and be prepared to productively answer
critics and not suppress them. Improving organizational behavior must
start at the top. The USCF must have those who represent it to lead by
example. Note personal attacks should not be allowed but the idea is
not to stifle criticism, debate, or even disagreement as one can have
polite discourse and still challenge others' points of view, their
record, their statements, their actions, their behavior, and their
opinions.

"The Forum Oversight Committee

"I understand all this intermediation by our leaders should not
influence FOC actions but it does as such behavior encourages
individual and arbitrary interpretation of the AUG that the forum
members all have agreed to follow. In my opinion this arbitrariness,
interestingly enough, also empowers what the leadership labels
disrespectfully as malcontents as well as provides a rationale for
those in authority not to maintain their public accountability."
