Can't see what his problem is then. I find it all a bit fantastical that he is actually trying to exact some sort of revenge but who knows?

As long as we're conspiracy theorising I suppose mainstream media does have a vested interest in trying to discredit new media sources like website forums and blogs. I doubt it's like a formal strategy or anything but I'm sure they don't mind having a go when the opportunity arises either. I've really noticed over the last year or two that I get most of my in-depth Phoenix news, discussion etc here rather than from traditional sources. And I'd go so far as to say that in its own unique way this forum dealt with issues like the U17s being charged, the WC qualification fallout and the future of the ASB Prem with a lot more depth and breadth than you would get from mainstream media. A kind of crowd-sourced news model if you like. Sure there's some crap floating around but the cream always rises to the top.
