What the hell, messygeek? You're being petty. You linked to a news story in News and Current Events.

I've never really known Orwell to make any actual "personal attacks" (at least those genuinely worthy of moderator attention) on another member. As a matter of fact, he's probably one of the more mature and intelligent members on this forum.
