Unsupported conjecture and fear mongering. IOW, FUD.

So he used another newsgroup's charter as a template? Here's something
you don't obviously know - people don't create everything from scratch.
They often use something that already exists as a template. And that
isn't restricted to usenet charters.

Are you an engineer or technician? You sound like one or the other.

So? They are two entirely different newsgroup. You're comparing apples
and oranges.

You asked me not to lumber you Brits with it. No one is.

Why? I'm quite happily ignoring it - as you should ukrram if you don't
like it.

You're not happy at all. You want the Brits to host you a moderated
group so you can play in it.

No, I want a moderated newsgroup so that I can chat with some of the
people I've met on ukraa without having to put up with the cesspool that
certain people have made it to be.

You want....

You've got a moderated group. Don't the people there like you, or something?

I think you're struggling with this:

"Only by noting that the chap who is behind the RFD is the same chap who
brought 'order' to the US groups (and RRAM can be seen by all to be the
roaring success of this policy[1,2,3]), and the Charter and ModPol for

No, you're struggling with the fact that they are two different
newsgroups with two different audiences and two different sets of
moderators. The chap who is behind the RFD only submitted the RFD. He
has NOTHING to do with the moderation of the newsgroup or any other
operation of the newsgroup. But you seem to have trouble with that very
simple concept.

False argument.

So what's the real reason, Spike?

And you can't understand that you're comparing apples and oranges.

If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and has the antecedents of
a duck, it's a duck.

And we don't want Stuckle over here. Isn't the US big enough for you?

Since when do YOU speak for the entire UK? What you REALLY mean is YOU
don't want me there - probably because I don't put up with trolls.

Oh, I'm not alone in this. Trust me.

But you still haven't answered a simple question - what's the REAL
reason you don't want it? Since you can't seem to answer such a simple
question, let me do it for you. You are well known to be one of the
main instigators causing ukrra to be suck a cesspool. You are deathly
afraid that you won't be allowed to post your crap in a moderated
newsgroup. And you're afraid all the "good" people will leave ukrra for
ukrram, and only you and your fellow instigators will be left on ukrra.

The chap who is behind the RFD is the same chap who
brought 'order' to the US groups (and RRAM can be seen by all to be the
roaring success of this policy[1,2,3]), and the Charter and ModPol for
the proposed group being little more than a cut-and-paste job, even down
to the Americanisms.

And that takes all the fun out of it.

Not my problem.
