lenient measures

Another EA employee on the forum described this as "the lenient measures" they are taking for those of us with concerns.

In reference to the more lenient measures taken against dissident theologians, he once remarked, "The electric chair and gas chamber are no more".

It's the phrase "lenient measures" that's so insulting, as if imposing an install limit, and then upping it by two, is doing us a huge favor.

Immigration officials say they are working with Congressional leaders to reconcile some of the stricter provisions now in effect with more lenient measures in the previous law.

When he openly expressed his opinion that the Vendéans merited lenient measures, the authorities recalled him; but re-instated him once more in April 1794 and sent him to the Army of the Sambre-and-Meuse.

I shall only observe now that lenient measures have had no other effect than to produce insult after insult; that the more we conceded, the higher America rose in her demands, and the more insolent she has grown.

Have any lenient measures been the consequence of our humble representations of "the hardship of certain measures," which were set forth by the house of assembly in the most decent and respectful letters to persons of high rank in the administration of government at home?
