Don't get me wrong - I think that David Lang enjoys stirring up

quality of his decking is atrocious to boot. However, this rejection
in urcm in response to a post of mine is ridiculous.

Greenwich Council is to launch an independent inquiry after the
collapse of a 11m project to refurbish the Greenwich and Woolwich
foot tunnels, it has been revealed. Both tunnels have been left
uncompleted and in a poor condition following the failure of the
scheme, which began in April 2010. Now Greenwich Council is taking
legal action against three contractors, after it was forced to step in
and run the scheme itself.

I understand that it has been necessary to erect barriers to prevent
cyclists illegally riding in the pedestrian tunnels.

Shouldn't cyclists dismount & push their bicycles through the pedestrian
tunnels?

Why should I be barred from responding to his polite and reasonable
question in the moderated group?

Perhaps the moderators are moderating on poster not content.


So no harm done. You get to see his inspiring words and you can reply
to them here. And, of course, if Dave gets rejected, he gets to count
coup amongst his tribe, and, if he gets through moderation, he also
gets to count coup because he can claim to have put one over the urcm
mods. For such as Dave it is win-win either way.

Personally, I hope that they let some of his best attempts through. It
is funny to see him turn up trying to look all butter wouldn't melt,
in his grey flannel Sunday school suit, with the badge in the lapel,
and his stockings pulled up to just below his knees and folded over so
neatly at the top, and his hair all flat and shiny with what one hopes
is Brylcreem, and his cap all square.


I also hope that they let some of his best attempts through, if only
for the joy of conjuring up that image you have just painted of him
should a post of his appear.

Squashme seems to have unnatural fantasies about schoolboys....

Dave - Cyclists VOR. "Many people barely recognise the bicycle as a
legitimate mode of transport; it is either a toy for children or a
vehicle fit only for the poor and/or strange," Dave Horton, of Lancaster
University, wrote in an interim assessment of the Understanding Walking
and Cycling study. "For them, cycling is a bit embarrassing, they fail
to see its purpose, and have no interest in integrating it into their
lives, certainly on a regular basis."
