rejection of MattB's posts where he dared to prove you wrong (and simultaneously debunked one of the car-haters' main excuses for their attitude towards motorists, which of course is really about a dislike of capitalism and/or personal freedom)? Your deliberately unhelpful (but entirely typical) reply to his follow-up email isn't what you'd expect from those who really were accountable...can you imagine a council replying like that (they may very well *feel* like saying that, as in many cases their smug contempt for the public matches your contempt for "outsiders", but they would at least go through the motions of pretending to care/investigate/explain)?
 * How*? How does anyone bring you to account for your "sour grapes"

I know some of the other "moderators" are just lying scum, but I think you might actually believe it when you say things like the above, which is pretty scary really. However, if you do believe you're accountable then you'll have no problem attempting to explain how (I know you'll have read this post). As far as I can see there is zero accountability; you can (and do) reject posts for any "reasons" you feel like and just refuse to explain (and the same goes for letting through posts containing obvious insults when they're from the likes of Chapman and other clique members).

And every time you do such things, people who think you're running a private club become more certain of it, and justifiably so. No other reasonable explanation fits.
