Barence writes "Facebook has overtaken rival social network MySpace for the first time — provoking an angry outburst from Rupert Murdoch, the man who paid $580m for MySpace only three years ago."

One of the things you'll find about slashdot is a lot of people here will mod you as "troll" [wikipedia.org] if you badmouth one of their high priests. Never dis a banker when you may be talking to someone who worships money as so many slashdotters do, and especially don't badmouth someone who can buy bankers.

I don't have a very high opinion of Murdoch either. He comes here to America from Australia, buys up a lot of our shit (Fox, Myspace, etc) and then the foreigner who claims not to be an alien rams his neocon politics down our throats. Chances are whoever modded you "troll" is a slashdot neocon. There are guys who will mod you down for saying Bush is a bad President.

If I metamod your comment, the guy(s) who modded it "troll" will get smited. It is not offtopic and it should not provoke an emotional reaction in anyone who isn't monetarily invested in Murdoch's schemes. Note to moderators: your mod had best fit the wikipedia definition of whatever you mod as or your mod will be modded down. For instance, there's little way for a first post to be redundant.

Think before you mod or you may not get more points to mod with. When in doubt, save your mod points.
