It's refreshing that so far every reply has been right on the money. What a stupid thing to post, and once again it's a case of a URC regular doing exactly what he accuses others of doing. The difference in this case is that the stupid post still seems to be getting a negative reception even though it was posted by a member of the clique (or at least the "wider" clique...Tom Crispin can't be a true member since he dares to engage with those who have the "wrong" opinions, instead of just ignoring them and the awkward truths they keep posting).

Perhaps if we'd had a bit more of that sort of even-handedness to begin with, rather than the "Such-and-such is unacceptable, unless it's done by a member of the clique" nonsense that we've been getting so often in here (the most recent major example being tacit acceptance of Chapman's Lu Nee post(s)), then the faux "moderation" wouldn't be needed.

Get rid of Chapman, get rid of Spindrift, treat *all* posters fairly no matter what their opinions, and you're well on the way to the URC that everyone, bar the car-haters who are only parasitising the cause of cycling anyway, wants.
