Hmm, thanks for the criticism Erol, I wrote and published the report in such a big rush that I never got the chance to check with other people if any of my comments are offensive.
Actually, my statement is backed up by evidence, "modernization of the state via EU membership" is a primary motive for 70% of TCs, whereas "reunification with GCs" was a primary motive for only 25% of TCs. So my comment was a neutral statement of fact, rather than a subjective critique of the TC community.
Perhaps I needed a special chapter in my report to focus on motivations, if that had been there first then my comment would not have seemed so out of place.
Anyway, keep on reading and let me know what else you find. It is not too late to fix things.
