A good summary, yes.

But that implies that they *will* cut posts from non-cyclists *unless* the thread wanders into public transport discussions. And since you realise that the URC regulars are mad (and maliciously so), you must also realise that many of them *do* wish to get rid of anyone who doesn't cycle regularly (although actually what this whole thing comes down to is that they just want rid of anyone who has certain, non-anti- motorist opinions, e.g. anyone who refuses to pretend that speed cameras save lives).
