Your obsession with the Guardian really is out of control

Although that really is a poorly written ****ish piece

I'd have had a pop at it wherever it appeared, tbh

Even if it's 100% true, it's wildly unnecessary and reeks of axe-grinding.

Absolutely - I apologise for my initial reaction. It's rank poor journalism - and regardless of your views on Hughes (who from what I know was actually a highly regarded and liked figure even in the bitchy world of comics) as you say totally unecessary

There's no place for this sort of ársebanditry on awimb, mate.

'I apologise' indeed. WHY DON'T YOU JUST SUCK HIS COCK?

Errr, do I get a say in this? Because i’d really prefer it if he didn’t.

I would class you as a hatchet job lover b so why the chagrin about this one? Did you like Hughes or is it your odium toward the Gruaniad?

However you class me, I'm not, so your premise is flawed.

I don't believe that, in the the week someone dies, it is appropriate to publish a piece that smears a man who can't answer back with snidey hints and unsubstantiated allegations about his character. Why would you do it? It's not like he was Jimmy Savile, ffs! He was a man who clearly had a variety of human flaws - like most of us. Why would you decide to publish a piece rubbishing the man in the press the week he dies?

Sounds like a bit of attention seeking and bitterness from this journo. Then again imagine looking like Prince Harry without actually being Prince Harry. That's gotta suck imo.
