Okay, Thomas thinks he understands the meaning of each individual word, but, in the name of the Magic Feather, exactly what is the General talking about?

"I and others" ... "branch office Rainbows?" WHO the heck is he talking about? Is it a secret? Why doesn't he want to say?

If he doesn't want to talk about it openly, why did he give it to Carla, and why did Carla print it in the ALL WAYS FREE?

"New people, new ideas ... make room, allow and even encourage this evolution?" What IS he talking about?

Is it factionalizing, judgmentalism, condemnatory, or unRainbow?

If he doesn't really want to say what he's talking about, why does he talk about it?

Since ALL WAYS FREE didn't explain what and to whom the General was referring, we might ask whether Sister Facilitating Editor spoke with forked tongue.
