Yes - rather than "... of interest to the moderators.." which seems to be the main criterion. |

"...of interest to cyclists..." Is it being polite and well-mannered which is not "...of interest to cyclists..."? No, it's the "I'm not interested in anything with which I disagree" interpretation of that part of the charter. Oooo... You ARE a one, Mr Wooster... Weren't me... I'm not that sharp. 'Twas the work of The Forger. |

Which was interpreted by the moderators as being: "...of what we want to be of interest to cyclists..." Clearly if Matt B's comments were not of interest to cyclists, no cyclist would ever respond, and he'd soon stop posting. |

A year's furlough, near enough; and the atmosphere in uk.rec.cycling is the same poisonous brew it was when I left. One mission-poster defending another, and both for attacking the cyclists who have found a way to not have to listen to them. Welcome to the atmosphere you and other idiots like you created. All the people who enjoy cycling and want to talk about it have buggered off elsewhere, to avoid the poison you repeatedly spread. |

Your application to join the urcm moderation team is looking increasingly like Turkey's application to join the European Union. |

Well given the two most recent threads are on recumbent panniers and dog **** on shoes, I would have to agree with that comment. Are they? I haven't been there in years. It's a bit ... quiet. |

I think I know who it is. |
