Apologies, the AC thread doesn't allow polls, but the question has to be asked.

(Perhaps MJ could move to somewhere more suitable).

I voted for them both being complete f**kwits, but in fairness Bertarelli is guilty of more f**kwittery than Ellison (but that could be because he has more power to be a f**kwit being the defender)

Now moved to somewhere more suitable and polls are now allowed in the AC forum.

Bertarelli is the idiot who has turned the greatest sailing event in the world into a complete joke. Fair play to Ellison for standing up to him, sometimes you've got to fight fire with fire. Bertarellis proposals after the 32nd cup were totally laughable and so steeped in the defenders favour that really there was no choice but for it all to get nasty. I hope Dogzilla does the job and the competition can return too its former glory, a competition thats decided on the water by the best sailors/ design teams.
blah blah blah

You've got to admire EB: there are precious few other folk in the world who could so consistently make LE look like the good guy.
