Delusions of grandeur.

Please stop.

I've asked you repeatedly to stop smearing me (2).

Someone on the Internet has a different opinion than you do—what do you hope to get out of calling into question their mental and emotional health in various forums where they do and especially where they do not participate?

Is your goal to bully people into not saying things anywhere because you're going to impugn their motives, make up things about them, promise to stop when you get called out, then do it again?

That doesn't seem very effective.

One of Larry's goals with the P6 announcement was to recreate the community so that it was more helpful and kind. One of Audrey's goals was to encourage the community to acknowledge disagreement and criticism with honesty and kindness and respect.

I don't see how those goals are served by misrepresenting history and accusing people of bizarre conspiracies.

Even if Rakudo addressed all of my technical concerns, I would think twice about using it for anything because of this.

Update: I had forgotten that raiph was pulling the same trick at least five years ago.
