I note that this post by The Raven was allowed, despite being to do with motorists and pedestrians rather than cycling, and despite the acknowledgement that it was off-topic:

http://groups.google.com/group/uk.rec.cycling.moderated/msg/a2f54ce0099e 5f04

Needless to say, being from The Raven it was anti-motorist in tone. Something tells me that if, say, Matt B had started a topic about how motorists weren't as dangerous to pedestrians as some made out (and backed it up with statistics), it would have been rejected out of hand.

Yet more evidence that URCM moderation is hideously biased towards particular viewpoints, one of the most prominent of which is a dislike of cars and a wish to force people to give them up by any means "necessary".
