I read that article and didn't think it was 'deliberately provocative', it was just bloody irritating in a way that made me think it wouldn't be worth the time and effort to try to argue against it.

I was in a meeting at Newcastle yesterday with their Webmaster... his only response was to ask if anyone in the audience was veggie before he commented, and that was just to roll his eyes!

It's deliberately provocative in the same way that any troll is - i.e. not actually worth reading or responding to.

Having said that, removing his access is just plain stupid.

I thought the article was extremely funny. It's obviously tongue in cheek and people ought to lighten the hell up.

Yup, you're right - having now read the article I can happily agree with 95% of it. I was thinking of something else I'd read which with no connection to this article.

That'll teach me to comment without reading the damn thing I'm reading about.
