SteveC marked the NO page as in dispute. No, he didn't mark the YES page as in 
dispute.
If there was no dispute there would be no need for a vote.

I find the graffiti on the NO page very disturbing. It is intended as a 
statement page by those who differ, and those who want to put positive 
comments on the new licence should use their own page.
