Jackson seems to be taking unprecedented flak, which is really saying something, as he's never been popular as Chief Moderator of URCM (or before that in many quarters). And it's encouraging that he now also seems to be encountering resistance to his draconian bullying censorship from within the "moderation" team...I don't know if it's just Eleanor Blair, or whether others are also coming to realise just how badly the tyrant Jackson is damaging URCM, but things are going in the right direction on that front.

He really ought to do the decent thing and just quit before it gets even worse. Sadly, I doubt he will, and in fact he's so stubbornly unpleasant that objections from his opponents to his behaviour probably just spur him on.

An RFD to remove Ian Jackson as a URCM "moderator" would be likely to succeed IMO. He's just stunningly aggressive and intolerant. He helps no-one in the end, least of all cyclists (or even the minority who are psycholists).
