Talk:Andrew Orlowski

Removed, NPOV

He roundly denounces techno-utopian in even its mildest forms.

- Makes no sense. Contributor possibly means "utopianism". But being "mildly utopian" makes as much sense as being "slightly dead".

Orlowski has been described as a "professional troll" by Jimmy Wales

- unsourced. Maybe Jimbo can say it now so we can include it ;-)

Orlowski has been criticized and accused of unprofessional journalistic behavior. [1]

- previously removed for NPOV. "Hawk" is a psuedonymous blogger with an Orlowski obsession. Above added by User:200.2.128.2

Thank you for your input. The blog quoted has not been shown to be notable as a source. I would not dream of censoring this article (although I was accused of doing so) if there was genuine, notable criticism of Orlowski to be added. I removed the above comment since it is not worthy of inclusion. By the way, could you sign on talk pages? DannyWilde 04:59, 8 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Verity Stob says Andrew Orlowski is a Dalek

And even when you do get on, what can you do? You read a bit of the Reg, Outpost Gallifrey, the Beeb, maybe log on to Wikipedia with username 'Andrew Orlowski' and post an article talking up the importance of the blogging movement. Just like everybody does.

Cute. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 20:16, 1 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Eh? This has nothing to do with Andrew Orlowski. DannyWilde 02:35, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, you're right — it's saying that if Daleks were on the Internet they'd pull stupid trollish stunts. My bad. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 05:14, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
