Every time Mr Burrows says something, even when not to you, you attack him about "fake news" and being controlled by the media (aka "media control"). It is sadly telling- you criticize FG but you're perhaps even more fixated on attacking, often with provocation, Mr Burrows every chance you can get. And you accuse Mr Rochester of fixating on the past and you sure come across as nursing some kind of grievance against Mr Burrows by the way you constantly attack him, often without reason.

I think Michael is starting to understand, Dance has no place here and rather than bitch about Dance to Michael once again, I think the proof is in the pudding, just by reading Dance trash talk.

Regardless of what one might think of George, he brings up interesting literary points, and can engage in stimulating literary conversations.
Attacking him is not the course we should be pursuing.
Reasoning with him has also proven futile at this point.
We are dealing with someone who has adopted the personality of a stubborn and petulant child (sorry George, but that's how you've been presenting yourself of late).
Our only hope of reaching him now is to ignore his tantrums, and treat him with kindness regardless of his childish lashing out (calling us "twats," "sphincters," etc.).
Treat him with civility. Stop the personal attacks against him and his family. Engage him on any interesting points he brings up -- and don't feel that he is expected to reply.
When he sees, over time, that AAPC no longer poses a hostile environment toward him, he will stop his hostilities in return (Tit for Tat).
