So you're happy for a newsgroup to be "moderated" with an obvious bias towards particular extremist, socialist, anti-motorist viewpoints? Do you post to any moderated newsgroups? How would you like it if the "moderators" started censoring your posts because you were saying what you thought (especially if your point of view was clearly the one which was backed by scientific evidence)?

If you would be minded to complain on UNNM then how can you have a go at Judith for doing the very same thing? She dislikes URCM and makes no secret of it. She has very good reasons for doing so. It is not being moderated properly and the very reason that it was set up in the first place was to exclude those nasty truths that the "cyclists should be able to do what they like and cars should be banned" nutters didn't like having to read about. Just try pointing out that cycle helmets save lives, or that speed camera policy endangers cyclists (along with other road users), and see how far you get.
