Cycle campaigning

I just don't like a nameless, faceless organisation coming along and saying they are anti-violence and yet presenting their case in the most emotive language I've read on the matter.

What I really hate is this bit of their website:

Your comments must include a name, your (approximate) whereabouts, and an e-mail address; these must be given in the body of your message for inclusion if the message is published. Comments not including this information as part of the message will be deleted and not considered for publication. If you want to comment without saying anything about yourself publicly, you are welcome to communicate directly with the originators of this web page via the e-mail address above, but such comments will almost certainly not be published here.

Whilst they stay anonymous, with no names or anything given on the site, to comment on it, you have to surrender your own anonymity. Also, what they are offering is not a free or fair discussion of their proposals, as there is no guarentee any messages will be published. This leads me to suspect that messages from people who disagree with it will never be posted.

There is a time and place for this sort of non-violent confrontation, but I'm not sure that we're there just yet. I also feel that Critical Mass, for all its failings, is a space that cyclists can use for this.

Hopefully the site & idea will stay tucked away in obscurity where it belongs for the moment, whilst the creators look at the responses that they've had, and modify their plans.
