You must be incredibly gullible to have swallowed the URCM supporters' propaganda to the extent that you have. Some of the individual rejections that Ian Smith and Matt B have had would simply not be defended by any reasonable, objective person. Yet you automatically jump to the moderators' defence Clive George-style, and you probably haven't even bothered to investigate the details of the rejections.

The obnoxious behaviour of the "moderators" towards Ian Smith is all the more puzzling since his opinions generally seem to be "in step"...I don't know whether there was some discussion (possibly private?) where he dared to challenge them on something or what, but they've clearly got it in for him for some "reason". Maybe it's because unlike most car-haters he's prepared to issue spot-on criticism of The Venerable Guy Chapman. Whatever it is, I find that I have a fair bit of sympathy for him.
