Livo, with all due respect to yourself, I'm not sure how much time you spend reading this particular forum and how aware toy might be of George's pattern of behaviour and how harmful it is to the other users of this site.
The fact is, people have ignored and ostracised him for a long time and it's only resulted in more and more blatant provocation.. With admin not being around for the majority of the time, he has had free rein - people speaking out (as Gav did with his poll) is entirely the right way to deal with it, preferably followed up with a PM from each concerned member to Admin.
