Stuart Campbell (for it is he) has always been an arrogant toss pot of
the highest order. I've sort of had dealings with him in the past
which resulted i na rewritten article after we applied some pressure.

I don't mind journalists having personality, in fact it's a bonus. But
autommically assuming what you say is god, without checking your facts
(or in the case of him, having a disclaimer - warning writer has his
head so far up his own arse he can't see daylight) is frankly
unforgivable.
