To pre-empt the inevitable whinging, freedom of speech doesn't mean Chockstone is obligated to publish your speech.

Stepping back a little, climbers have learnt a lot from the Grampians experience. The reaction to the proposal of a Dec Crag moratorium is much more positive than when a moratorium was proposed in the Grampians. I think PV should be congratulated on getting the tone right this time - we don't have rangers running around threatening people or false information being spread in the media. I sincerely hope this is the foundation for a different and better working relationship with TOs and PV.

Time and again it's been shown that the climbing community can self-police just as well as other user groups - let's just do it.
