Exactly. It's so pathetic and so obvious that he simply wishes to censor points of view, rather than "trolling". He wants to make sure that people are banned for (say) simply advocating helmets, even if they don't actually break any rules. Perhaps the new group should be called uk.rec.cycling.1984?

And who would the "FAQ" be written by? A camera supporter/helmet opposer, presumably? That'll be nice and impartial then. "Speed cameras work [at bullying motorists]. You may not argue with this. Next question."
