Well hopefully this "URCM-type" behaviour from D.M. Procida (e.g. judging people on what they've posted elsewhere, sending unhelpful replies to emailed queries about moderation, biasing moderation decisions towards people he agrees with) will cause people to question whether he truly wants change on URCM, or whether his RFD was just a way of heading off a real and permanent improvement.

I think we really need an RFD from someone like Tom Crispin...there aren't many people who 1) definitely have a genuine wish to improve the group in the required way, 2) have been regular posters to cycling group(s), 3) are willing to be moderators themselves and 4) can't have RFDs conveniently dismissed as "trolling" by those who support the current "junta" (as Trevor A Panther puts it) because of who they are.
