So these are my strategical thoughts.

I see, thanks for taking the time to write up the clarifications and all this additional info. It was helping me gain new insights into your way of thinking. I think this also benefits the other monks.

I've said my part in hopes of saving you time and disappointment. I'm not antagonistic, for some reason you're prone to make that assumption. I sincerely wish you success with your endeavour.

Saying this I'm irritated by your approach of trying to tell me that I rather have to work on other projects which don't follow my philosophy.

Don't be! I merely formulated what I would do in your stead. This is far from an assignment or command.

[you] criticized me for not knowing your favorite signature module

I remember that differently. 🙂

nobody else in the audience seemed to have heard of your kafka-something

You didn't ask the audience, so how do you presume to know what they were thinking? Lack of further interjections does not imply that the audience has heard or not heard about the module I mentioned.

I did extensive research on 10+ other sig-modules on CPAN

A shame that you missed my write-up.
