Censorship in uk.rec.cycling.moderated

A psycholist is trying to make uk.rec.cycling moderated so that nobody will
have a right of reply to anti-motorist abuse that is rife on that group. His
hand picked moderators have already said that they will censor "contentious"
opinions, and have said that you must be a "UK cyclist" to post.

Crossposting is being deliberately allowed so that Guy Chapman and his mates
can crosspost to motorist groups while censoring the replies. His moderators
frequently use the term "cager" to attack motorists - yet they claim they will
censor personal abuse. One of them forges the contents of other people's posts.
He is Alan Braggins.

Nobody will be allowed to vote on whether or not Chapman or anybody else can be
a moderator - undemocratic. Nobody will be allowed to know if or why a post has
been censored or who is blocked from posting. The process is not fair,
balanced or transparent. Why would that be?

Chapman posted as 'Lou Knee' and still will not deny it. Chapman posted as
'Sniper' and others to boost support for his new group. He purports to be a
Christian, yet is a liar. He is despicable.

I trust you will join the discussion on uk.net.news.config to provide some
balance against Chapman's lies, and vote appropriately against or for the
moderation when the CFV is posted.

I'm the proponent for uk.rec.cycling.moderated. Once again I have to
say that I'm sorry that our troll problem has spilled over into your
newsgroups. I'm afraid that this kind of trawling for `no' votes is
likely to continue for the few weeks of the voting period.

I'll ask the other members of the 11-strong proposed moderation panel
to refrain from posting here any about this any more. That way you'll
only have to put up with me and I don't plan to post very often.

I want to say very clearly: this will definitely not happen.
We want to create a group free of interminable motorist-vs-cyclist
trollfests. We will not permit any crossposting between urcm and
motorist and motorcyclist groups.

For those who are actually interested (for example, those of you who
also take to a pushbike once in a while) the details of the proposal
(and my summary of the 1500-article flamewar^W discussion) will be in
the CFV. The discussion itself is indeed in uk.net.news.config.

Thanks for you attention and sorry for the interruption.

 

Oh I propose that UKRMers just keep running the dozy careless untaxed
fuckers off the road. There are a LOT more of us and before long there
will be none of these other NG types left to annoy us.

 

You should think of cyclists more in pity than in anger.
Just think 'There but for the grace of God go I,' as any one of us could
accidentally get caught doing 180 down the bypass and suddenly become a cyclist.

Well I have a bicycle too, living in York, but hypocrisy is de facto in
UKRM shirly.

 

<snork>

 

.... the car they did drive before getting banned and having to buy a pushbike.
Is there a source for your fascinating demographic statistics?
I suppose they tend to be younger, fitter and better endowed than non-cyclists too.

 

Shame there's not a demographic category for 'smug, holier-than-thou,
pious, self-important twat' too - that's one area where I *would*
expect cyclists to figure highly...

 

"Nice Try" is Hansen newspeak for "Oh **** you got me bang to rights."

 

With "Dynamo Dave" Hansen at the top of the list.

 

Its an awkward one, I use powered and non powered bikes.

But any two wheeled fucker on the pavement needs a twatting.

 

**** god, what has religion got to do with it ?

He'd need a faster bike

 

There's a mountain bike in my shed, it serves as an anti-theft anchor
for my barbecue

 

I laughed and laughed with amusement that so many people assumed that it
genuinely was from you.

Clearly your name has already been blackened through your nobody's
effort but your own on these groups.

No. "Dynamo" Hansen is a well known troll.

 

Where does the "Dynamo" moniker come from?

 

?Hasn't this hit the BI fan yet?

 

So, someone making comments that you agree with is despicable.

 

Oh, you have - I'm just using another name, despicable isn't it!
