The church has turned to Facebook as part of a campaign to attract young people to the priesthood, in an effort to combat its drastically dwindling number of priests. It may be working. The Facebook page attracted more than 1,200 fans in one week."

    Yeah well, I got modded troll for making a fairly harmless joke about Sarah Palin on a related post.

    Fairly depressing to think Slashdot has become like this, its not really the poster being the troller any more, more like the person modding has become the troll.
