Deny articles from 'Charlie' on INQ

Reason being, look at his latest news thread posted here, its 7 pages of people either flaming each other or, and mostly, flaming charlie on how very opionated and biased his articles are. The extremely small hint of truth in any one of his articles is buried by pages of completely subjective BS. Its not news, its for the most part his flame war with nvidia. Its seriously annoying and is a waste of resources on OCN and moderator's time each time one of his threads erupts into flame wars and has to be cleaned up.

We all know charlie is an idiot, no need to continually flame charlie for 5+ pages each time a news thread from him is posted here.

I agree that his is extremely opinionated, but he also seems to be right more than wrong. I think it is more a reflection of the OCN members on how they filter his BS as oposed to it being posted or not. I would rather see them get rid of some of the other "news".
I do enjoy reading the INQ, even if you have to take it with a pinch of salt.
Why not just delete the OT posts in those threads instead?

I'd like to see this happen. It's too hard for mods to police charlie threads. If people want to read it that bad, they can take a stroll over to INQ and do so.
I have no problem with it. When I see the INQ Tags before the article, I realize its from the inquirer and probably has a lot of exaggeration in it. I dont see why people have such a problem with it. The inquirer might put out a lot of crap, but more times than not, they are right, and a lot of the times you hear about things from them first.
I've got no problem with his articles being posted, but only under the following condition:

His article be backed with a second, reputable source saying the same thing.

Should take care of the problem at hand while still allowing any truth he speaks to come through.

Indeed thats possible, but it doesnt exactly lessen the amount of posts/flaming that goes on. Dont get me wrong, I dont like charlie, but there is only so many times I can see a single person getting flamed, even if its his own fault.

Indeed, but if I speculate as much as that place does, I am bound to randomly hit the target too ocasionally.

This is a very good idea.

EDIT

These two articles kinda sorta display what I am talking about. After reading both, its clear Charlie has no clue what hes talking about, so we all sit around flaming him all day long.
