I downvoted this for several reasons, many of which would suffice on their own.

• It contains an ad hominem attack unrelated to the issue at hand.
• It has nothing to do with Perl or the Monastery.
• It is a personal disagreement aired in public for no apparent benefit.
• It does not belong as a top-level post.

Besides that, I object to your selective misquoting of my earlier post, in an apparent attempt to legitimize your post. I do not care if you and merlyn have a personal disagreement, as long as you both handle yourselves with decorum in public. This counts as a public situation.

In the future, please leave me out of these posts, if you really must make them.
