I'm sorry to disappoint you, but Peter Osborne is not an editor at eUmpire. He's not even the editor. I am the sole editor, and the references to Orwell on this Board came primarily from Osborne, not from me. I do agree with your analysis of those comments; however, I doubt you still believe them appropriate now that you know you applied them to the "wrong" person.
Since Peter's posts have been deleted, a search for "Orwell" turned up only four hits: two by you, claiming incorrectly that I reference Orwell; and two by MB.
It will come as a great surprise to most of the major critics of literature that Animal Farm is simplistic. Foreboding? yes; pessimistic? yes; right-wing? yes; terrifying, even? yes. Simplistic? never.

I see now that it is Carl that has attributed "Animal Farm" references to me. He has done so in error. I have never read nor quoted "Animal Farm". Carl, on the other hand, seems intimately familiar with the book. Since Carl is wrong, should not we apply the same judgement on him that he wants to apply to Bfair?
