Absurd urcm decision

Don't get me wrong - I think that David Lang enjoys stirring up
trouble with cyclists, and appears to be crass and ignorant; the
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?

Who me?


and appears to be crass and ignorant;

Is that why I consistently make you look foolish?

How many decks have you built in the last 10 years Cwispie?

Oh, I remember now - none.

Do you know which way up the boards go?


However, this rejection

At last we agree on something.

Seems that way. Psycholists are unable to accept any form of criticism.

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.

Why he bothers is another question entirely. Possibly something to do
with differing boredom thresholds.

You aren't.

His question did not appear in the group; therefore an attempt to reply
is a nullity. This issue has been previously dealt with: a quote from a
rejected post was itself grounds for rejection, and rightfully so; and I
think you know that - otherwise you would have submitted a post with
your reply to the quote you obtained by assiduously scanning the logs
until you found something with which you could continue your
group-wrecking activities.

There you are Cwispie - slapped legs.

I think a spell in the naughty corner is called for, you little group

How is it possible for people other than the moderators to know the
content and origin of posts which have been rejected?

If anyone can see them (somewhere or other), what is the point of
moderation?

Hello there Peter. Your third ever post on Usenet and all on
this group. But this time with the colons.

What is it with some poster(s) and colons ?

But there again, a change is as good as a rest, I suppose.

I see only one colon in his contribution (not including those placed
automatically by the attribution).

Did you mean semi-colons (the punctuation mark which time had almost
forgotten)?
