"We've changed, not that we needed to change."

My response to UBF's "we've changed" argument (again, an argument that is sometimes made privately, never publically by UBF leaders):

John Jun (and other UBF leaders) insist that unspecified things have changed and insist that people talk about the current state of UBF. Does this imply an admission on their part that there were serious problems in past? Of course not. Their trick is to say that "they've changed" without ever acknowledging--and at the same time actively minimizing--past wrongdoing. They want their cake and eat it, too. See John Jun's recent responses to "past" UBF problems.

The same John Jun appears to have recently been "elected" to be the new "General Director" of UBF.
