Those of us south of the border won’t have heard much about the Wings Over Scotland blog. An amusement being that it’s vociferously pro-indy and written from Bath. The writer of which was trying to sue for defamation. The answer to which was:
He also described Mr Campbell as someone who has “chosen insult and condemnation as his style”, and said the blogger cannot expect to be able to “hold others to a higher standard of respect than he is willing himself to adopt.
“I do not accept that he can dismiss the feelings or reputations of his opponents cheaply, but receive a high valuation of his own.
Seems a fair verdict.
Can’t say I’m fond of either of them, but he is such an abject twunt, I am glad he’s wasted his legal fees.
Fun fact: Stu Campbell used to be one of the finest games journos around (admittedly, not exactly an Einsteinian achievement) back in the good old days of AMIGA POWER.

Oddly when you turned up on this blog, your writing style instantly brought Stu Campbell’s Amiga journalism to mind.
Ah, that’s why Bath – Future Publishing.
What a face he’s got! That is the archetypal face of an angry little jock that is. The face of a man not getting any.
And more fair comment that he so richly deserves.
MBE – Ha! Thanks (I think).
My favourite games writer was the sublime Mr Biffo of DIGITISER fame
