Yeah.... do you not see any similarity between that & my post about his Wikipedia page?
Oh well never mind.
“George Orwell is currently unavailable” - I thought that precluded the need for a sarc tag. Tip: you can assume people around here understand a general George Orwell/1984 reference.
You're right, and I apologize. FWIW, I got into an extended dust-up the other day with a FReeper who questioned my conservatism only because I am from Massachusetts. When I read your response, I fell back in that "fight" mode because I incorrectly interpreted your reference to Orwell's socialist leanings as a shot at me. I let my frustration with somebody else (which the Irish in me can't seem to let go of) cloud my understanding of your post.
I really am sorry.
