in thread Documentation for POE?

Looking at the POE website is like taking a bus trip with someone who has needed a bath for a long time. It is not merely bad; it's unpleasant in a hostile way. The visuals are grubby and drab. The structure is unkempt and doesn't adhere to any rules. The color scheme . . .

But let me catch my breath. The website is awful in so many different ways. Websites usually begin with a stab at an impressive header, but this one has no standard header and just displays 'User Resources' in a type font that came with my Macintosh.

I purused your site in mounting gloom, realizing that I was witnessing something historic, a Perl website that for decades to come will be the punch line of jokes about bad Perl websites.

    Being a little over-dramatic are we? Your post reminded me of this (look at the title and think back through American history to catch the significance). If you are easily offended by a website, maybe you should read more books.

      Want to be offended by a website post? Check out this at trashdot.com, er, um, slashdot nowadays.

      Update:Okay, the negative votes show that I've been missunderstood. Someone wrote you shouldn't be offended by posts. I was trying to point to an example of when a post should be offensive. I have nothing but respect for female programmers, especially those whose programs are respect-worthy. I abhor the post I linked to.
