As has been pointed out, this is nothing more than an unsubstantiated allegation made by a poster with a track record of lying and deceiving. Even if he has received such calls, he doesn't know who they are from, and whether they are anything to do with uk.rec.cycling (he is despised by all sorts of people from all sorts of places). This allegation has no place in the RFD, especially when it is stated as if it were fact.

Unsuitable: someone who routinely killfiles anyone who disagrees with him, and boasts about doing so, should not be a moderator as their motivation is not what a moderator's should be.

attempting to censor those who disagree with him.
 * Totally* unsuitable: extensive track record of insulting and

I may be open to persuasion regarding Ian Jackson, and maybe even Alan Braggins, but absolutely not with Peter Clinch.
