As if to demonstrate the fact that freedom of communication can also mean freedom to bitch mercilessly, someone drew my attention to a forum on Al Jazeera, called (surprisingly when you come to read it) – Friends of Al Jazeera. It features a poster called haroldlloyd who seems to be surfing a wave of Angosturan bitterness. His perky forum protagonist is a corporate cheerleader called Nikki.

I wouldn’t exactly urge you to read their exchanges but they do have a certain grim fascination. haroldlloyd appears to be a disgruntled former ITN employee…Harold – therapy!
