Andrew Orlowski is a well known troll. Also on a personal level he's a complete cunt. I used to argue with him back and the day but there is no point.

His previous main argument against wikipedia was that anyone who uses it and supports it is advocating pedophilia.

Indeed when i , as eloquently could, disagreed with him in an email, he decided to publish snippets from my mail, with my name and email address on the reg. I had to contact the editor to get him to remove it and apologise for misrepresenting my remarks.

Feed not ye the troll.



The best example of feeding the troll was when Pan released version 0.10.0.92 as "Andrew Orlowski Can Kiss My Ass". [1] This was in response to him flaming Gnome 2.0. [2]
