Secondly and more importantly, I take the view that if some people wish to
set up a new newsgroup, that's up to them.
Even if that new newsgroup is blatantly going to be run by a clique
who intend to routinely censor particular opinions that certain people
don't like because they can't refute them but they don't want them to
be true? Do you think usenet is the place for private clubs where
members can complain about others (e.g. motorists) without anyone
being able to argue with their nonsense? Do you think it's right that
they're trying to circumvent the process by pretending they want a
"moderated" group when actually they have no intention whatsoever of
applying truly impartial moderation, just censorship?
If you do subscribe to the new group, they'll be looking for any
excuse they can possibly find to ban you and your posts, simply
because you have the "wrong" opinions. No matter that you never troll
or wind people up, and somehow manage never to have a go at even the
nastiest and most deceitful of the car-hating nutters: the fact that
you dare to argue with the party line is enough for most here
("moderators" included) to want to gag you.
If the whole exercise had truly been about impartial moderation, then
you would have been asked to be a moderator yourself. But as it is,
only "moderators" who are "on message", and sufficiently intolerant of
opposing opinions (so no Simon Mason for example), have been chosen
(and by one person at that), to ensure that censorship in the new
group runs smoothly (and is undisputed by anyone who has any power).
That is why we must stop the new group now, during the voting stage,
before it's too late, and Jackson and the rest are thumbing their nose
at us, having pulled a fast one and got their censored heaven where
they'll never again have to read those nasty true opinions that they
find so troublesome.
