You're quite right that URC"M" is a blatant attempt at censorship, but I wouldn't worry if I were you: you'll still be able to post your anti- motorist stuff, it's just that no-one will be allowed to argue with you. The censorship will be of anyone who sticks up for motorists, posts true facts that the car-haters don't want to be true, or posts opinions that the car-haters want to argue with but can't. Also no advocacy of restrictions on cyclists, or criticism of cyclists as a whole or individual cyclists (no matter how warranted), will be allowed.

So I don't think you have to worry: I don't think any of what you post will be censored.
