Ah, Jackson's little way of announcing that he's going to carry on being just as obnoxiously draconian as before (as if anyone had any doubt). I wonder if he discussed whether Toom should be banned with the other "moderators" before making that threat.

I see that even Steve Walker (*Steve Walker*!) had a post rejected the other day. That's just beyond the pale. It's Steve Walker FFS!

As D.M. Procida has just mentioned in another thread, a vote to remove (actually I prefer "delete") Jackson as a "moderator" would easily pass, as he's burnt his bridges with so many people, but the *only* problem is that he would then withdraw the services of chiark. This is no doubt exactly what he had in mind when setting the whole thing up, and is the reason why he's been behaving so arrogantly: he thinks he's invincible.

He is quite obviously not going to change the way he "moderates", and he can't be allowed to continue to get away with this indefinitely. It may be best to remove him and then have URCM temporarily unmoderated while a replacement server is found. I don't see how it helps to retain him, even if it means retaining chiark, when his behaviour and his threat to withdraw chiark shows so clearly that he is not in any way on the side of UK cyclists unless they happen to agree with his extremist viewpoints and methods of "moderation".
