Ha ha. Says it all really.

You're an absolute joke of a Chief Moderator and you should indeed resign immediately. The truth of that obviously hurts, and of course your usual response to the truth hurting is to vocally killfile the messenger, however tactful they are. It seems like even your minions are now rebelling against your crazed control freakery and intolerance of others' opinions being expressed. People have had enough of you. If you really care in the slightest about the cause of cycling in general (as opposed to just being anti-motorist) then you will have the grace to step down and allow chiark to continue to be used for URCM.

Just accept that it's over: your dream of a uk.* newsgroup where only people who agree with you are allowed to post has always been completely unrealistic, and thankfully there is too much rationality and fairness around for you ever to be able to achieve it. You've got two options: go now and save some face, or go later having been totally humiliated. If you refuse to choose the former then you will be choosing the latter by default.
