in thread (parental advisory) It's just f-ing poetry

The only reason I can see to consider that node is to amend the title to include "(parental advisory)" or something to that affect (kinda like we might do for spoilers).

Offensive is not a magic word. Just because you consider this poetry to be crap/dumb/childish is no reason to reap it. The node clearly matches the criteria for perl poetry, and as such should definetly not be reaped.

Why is this appropriate for Perl Monks today (so far 3 votes to keep), when it wasn't the last time it was posted (5 votes for deletion, 0 for keep)?
Opportunity. Content is moderated by those who are here to moderate it -> NodeReaper loose in the monastery -> and there aren't really any moderation guidelines (it's a work in progress).

PS -- a funny thing happened when I was quoting you, I started writing </blockhead> ;D
I'd like to thank castaway for the link.

I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).

    No, but all sound reasons for *consideration* in my book. Adding in the facts that...

    • It was posted anonymously (rare in Poetry, unless the poster suspects that it's likely to be found offensive etc.
    • Current rep of -11
    • Current monastery opinion is running at 23-6 in favour of delete.
    • It's not big and it's not clever :) It may fulfil the criteria, in the same way that "My program doesn't work" fulfils the criteria for an SOPW, but with regard to the 'spirit' of the Poetry section, it's contentless.
    ...makes me think that blokhead's consideration was a fair one.

    Ben.
