Why on Earth does uk.rec.cycling get special treatment? If the same post had been made in reference to events that didn't occur on URC then would there have been anything wrong with it? If not then why it is suddenly somehow "invalid" just because it's URC and you know the person concerned? I really thought it was a perfectly thought-provoking and appropriate post for a Christian newsgroup, and yes, I was interested in what people's opinions would be, but isn't that normal when you start a topic?

It's a shame because I usually think you're right about things (quite surprising given your irrational belief in a "God" for which there's no evidence..."He" is remarkably reluctant to show himself in any verifiable way, don't you think? Wouldn't that normally make you sceptical?)  Like some others you seem to have fallen into the trap of thinking that any criticism of Sir Chapman is automatically "causing trouble". Strange since it's usually fellow car-haters who revere him in that way, and I know you're not one.

I doubt you'll answer these questions, but: Do you think Chapman's actions regarding the Lou Knee post (and it's not seriously disputed that he did make the post) were becoming of a Christian? Do you think his actions in general are becoming of a Christian? Do you think he's a real Christian at all, or does he just pretend because he thinks it'll make people trust him more?
