Mr. Benioff, Tear Down That Wall

63 points for these "news"? A public rant about a competitor is "news" here? And how ethical is it to blog about such things? I've never seen a CEO of a company publicly bitching about how badly competitors treat him. Jesus I know for sure to never approach Zoho with a business proposal in fear of turning any potential dispute into a dirty laundry hanging in public.

And why is it even supposed to be interesting for anyone outside of Zoho/Salesforce? I wish we could see IP addresses of people who voted this stuff up: I wonder what percentage of originated from India.

Sridhar, here is an idea for you: write a post titled "Zoho shall pay no taxes" and make your workers vote it up on every public news site.

If this continues to be voted down...will it turn the same gray as the background?

I'm pretty sure I've seen comments blend in completely at about the -50 mark. I don't have a link offhand though.

I actually find the lightening of the text attracts me to it. I'm always curious to see what made a comment so controversial / bad.
