Both, thanks, and that remains the case whatever fuckwits here purport to think. And as I've said before, I'll leave this newsgroup just as soon as the closet motorist-haters, like Chapman and Spindrift, are stood up to and told where to go by the real cycling advocates.

> Are other newsgroups infected like this?

Only those which contain a number of notorious irrational, hated people who have made it their main aim in life to campaign vociferously against, and attempt to censor, large numbers of reasonable people who aren't doing anything wrong (be it motorists, atheists, people of certain races, people of certain nationalities, homosexuals, etc). So this group is one such group (since it unfortunately contains the motorist-haters), and that Christian newsgroup was another (for atheist-phobia and homophobia). Most other newsgroups (e.g. groups about knitting) never have any trouble, because they don't advocate persecution of anyone.

I don't see anything wrong with disrupting discussions between crazed car-haters, especially those who lie about hating cars. And as I said in the other thread, if you really want to be able to complain about this group being "infested", do something to put someone in charge, because until then, *everyone* is equally entitled to post here.
