Actually, a cycling group without certain people automatically dismissing anything said against Guy Chapman as "nonsense" (even when it's completely true and relevant) really would be a welcome addition to the hierarchy.

Everywhere you go on the Internet, "cycling" groups (particularly UK ones) are swamped by car-hating fuckwits, idiotic socialists, self- described "anarchists" and Chapman apologist types who don't really care about cycling and just cause everyone grief. It would be absolutely wonderful to see a proper, genuine cycling-related group where none of the regulars had any of the usual agendas or axes to grind and just shared information about cycling in an honest, well- meaning and pleasant fashion. And it would do the reputation of cyclists in general a power of good as well.

It wouldn't attract "trolls" or any real controversy at all; no-one would be remotely interested in disrupting a group like that, which actually deserved its place on the Internet and didn't harbour objectionable types like Chapman and Spindrift (who of course are ultimately responsible for the presence of the "disruptive" posters and all the trouble that's been caused).

If I were a keen cyclist then I would *hate* that my hobby was being abused by so many utter fuckwits whose aims were so completely, wretchedly worthless and detrimental to everyone's existence. I mean what on EARTH do car-haters (who constantly campaign for anti-motorist measures while laughably and completely transparently pretending to do so for "safety" reasons) "achieve" with their relentless spiteful nonsense, other than an absolutely massive amount of misery, irritation, waste and even death? The only "benefit" appears to be their own smugness at screwing things up for other people. They are utterly pointless parasites who we'd all be *so* much better off without. Even bacteria have more of a purpose than they do. I can't understand what sort of utter pleb would spend so much time and effort, lying and deceiving and ducking and weaving and trying to come up with the next great anti-motorist scheme, just so that they could piss off drivers...*what the fuck is that all about*? Just why does it give them so much twisted pleasure? Is there really nothing else they could do instead which they'd enjoy more? How whacked does that make them? FFS! It's ridiculous!
