Ultimately, what this means to me - and I think to anyone reading this - is that Perl is in desperate need of strong, fair, and righteous leadership. Until this exists, it will continue to be an absolute shitshow and continue to degenerate from within.

It doesn't mean this for me, not at all.

As far as the language Perl is concerned, I'd say that the Perl Steering Committee (PSC) is doing an very good job as leaders. Any shitshow is just that: A show, a bad one. I don't see it as PSC's fault that people want to watch a bad show, or even to play a role in a bad show. It's the era of social media, after all.
