Spot on. No wonder "they" want to create uk.rec.cycling.censored. They can't have people waltzing onto "their" group and exposing their true motives and opinions, thus making them look like lying, self- righteous dickheads. Round here, you're only allowed to say something if it doesn't make the "regulars" look stupid and it's not on the "banned list" of opinions. The "regulars" like to pretend that things are a certain way, and they can't have upstarts like you making them uncomfortable by telling it how it is. It wouldn't do for them to grow up and ACCEPT REALITY rather than shooting the messenger whenever anyone dares to speak the truth on certain issues.
