produced in orange late last night and frontpaged to many whiney comments.

Re: Yet another Murdoch diary (4.00 / 3)

I only skimmed it; seems like they didn't like the suggestion that DOJ stalled its investigations until the elections?

Re: Yet another Murdoch diary (4.00 / 2)

yep, and they also thought the original title over there was misleading (anything to get eyes looking at a diary) :)

Re: Yet another Murdoch diary (4.00 / 2)

Sigh, Armando is still around? Years ago, that obnoxious guy was one of the reasons I didn't stick around at dKos.

Up to his usual obnoxious rep there. What purpose does all that serve?

Re: Yet another Murdoch diary (none / 0)

What was the original title? Not that it matters much: I saw that in the end Armando attacked the substance of the diary, too.

Re: Yet another Murdoch diary (4.00 / 3)

was originally Murdochgate: US Grand Jury Set to Pinch Rupert for Bribery?, but that turned into arrested as I didn't think piched was right for US, then laughingly put breaking: in at the beginning. unfortunately that was the point the peoples house I was visiting had their network fail, and it's a case of rebooting the link, then rebooting the pc to get the software working from the caravan where they live.

By the time I got back online Armageddon was in progress with people being in full on arsehole mode.

Re: Yet another Murdoch diary (4.00 / 3)

Learned the very hard way that it's not a good idea to post anything controversial -- or poorly phrased -- right before leaving for a few hours. At least you didn't get banned as I was after being there for almost ten years. Only lost my TU status a couple of times. First way back in late 2003 when Armando's gang of Clarkies were the site bullies. Then briefly in 2004 when I had a dust-up with MSOC. The ring-leaders in getting me banned have since been banned, but to the dKos powers that be that is as irrelevant to my status as being one of the earliest reader/commentators.

Jeebus, just read some of the comments. What a tempest in a teapot.

Re: Yet another Murdoch diary (none / 1)

I think there may be a better synonym for Armando than 'teapot.'

Can't quite think of it right now though.

I believe the technical term, ... (none / 0)

... in Australian English, is "bloody wanker".

Re: Yet another Murdoch diary (4.00 / 4)

There are several people over there who made me conclude some time ago that dKos is not worth my time, particularly a set of Russophones who firmly believe no one gets to comment on anything east of Poland without their permission. The worst offenders are exactly what you would expect: programmers who are overgrown 13-year-olds with a penchant for clinging to the most Randian elements of the Gospels of St. Heinlein and St. Pournelle.

Aha! I successfully finished it! Last comment!

I did, however, skip some hundred comments are so in the middle.
