At least JMS claims to cycle.

I cycle as well, and I don't like people setting up newsgroups under false pretences. This is a newsgroup about uk.* moderation decisions (the clue being in the name), so if you don't want to read about them then don't read the group. Additionally it's not like the many URCM threads aren't labelled clearly.

Anyway you sound like one of the "It's OK to set up a private club masquerading as an impartially moderated newsgroup because anyone who doesn't want to read it doesn't have to" bunch. I strongly disagree with that POV. What other newsgroups do you read? Say you read uk.rec.x: would you like an arrogant bunch of liars to set up uk.rec.x.moderated, take many posters away from uk.rec.x, and then refuse to let you post to uk.rec.x.moderated because of your opinions?

Many different people are taking issue with URCM moderation in this newsgroup; other moderated groups get little to no criticism. If you don't think that's a sign that something's seriously wrong with the running of URCM then you're out of your tree.
