The Register jumps the shark

The Register used to be a good read, but it's jumped the shark and off my shortcut bar which needed a prune anyway. Why? Because of poor quality peices like this, with some responses here

It's not the attack on Pullman which bothers me, he's big and ugly enough to look after himself. It's the sheer drivelry of the argument that finally did it for me.  Its badly written and childish, somewhat like a vandalised wiki page or a dodgy Amazon review. I like to think that when I get to a website, someone, somewhere has tried to impose some kind of quality standard.  Incidentally, I notice from Orlowski's wikipedia entry that he thinks wikipedia is 'undergoverned'.  Pot. Kettle. ROFL.
