I do apologise, it was finally rejected earlier today, meaning that the arbitration only took 3 days and *2* hours. However, it's still most unwelcoming for the poster concerned, and a sure sign that URCM "moderation" is still not improving of its own accord. People, even new posters, are being hounded out of the group because their opinions do not match those of the clique and/or are viewed as "anti-cycling". It's disgraceful.

The shameful rejection is appended. If Micky Frost doesn't post again then we'll know why.
