I don't like what you are implying here. You are suggesting that we all once behaved like Wassercrats. Could you either backup your claim with references (the Internet has a good memory) or retract your words?
I doubt that anyone here has never made a false statement and not retracted it. No, I won't retract.
"compliment"? Do you mean "competent"? I don't know Wassercrats age, nor do I think that matters. I don't discriminate, and I don't think "older" people should be judged differently than "younger" people. As for Wassercrats being competent - perhaps he is. However, I don't recall any post of him suggesting he is. All I remember are posts of him attracking a lot downvotes. I haven't decided yet whether he's a troll or just a sad case.
I meant what I said, and said what I meant. I know that he's no youngin'
He did? He brought up a point? What point did he bring up?
That there's smaller growth in perl. I dont' agree with it. end of story.
Who did? Did anyone call him names? Please don't accuse people without being specific. Give us names and quotes. I reread the thread, and I don't see anyone treating him as "less than a human being".
Then you haven't read the entire thread. Re-read it.
Yes, but if he doesn't like how people react on what he's saying, he shouldn't voice his opinion. Freedom of speech works both ways.
Yes it does. And it doesn't stop me from trying to get people to be a bit less inflamatory themselves in hopes that maybe with a little kindness, Wassercrats changes his ways. He's not a complete troll. He has some value in him I believe. And as it goes both ways as you so nicely put, I won't retract my words as you've asked earlier.
The only Perl code posted in this thread was mine. Could you elaborate on why you consider that "bad code"?
Not in this thread. his past posts.
Now I am confused. First you critize us from writing replies to the "young and foolish" Wassercrats - yet you expect us to teach him his errors. Do you expect us to visit him in person?
It's called due diligence. Otherwise, we should just give everyone attitude problems and reject them based on first impressions. And worse yet, give the impression we are elitist. Even though Wasser has had a history of bad ideas, being immature about it just makes the community, our community, look worse... immature.
What do you expect people to say? No, please, don't do that? Didn't you say about him if he doesn't want to do certain things, that's his will? If he doesn't want to program in Perl, isn't it your own idea that it's his will he shouldn't?
Yes, "Haven't you left yet" is a fine argument. It totally disagrees with the information he posted.
Have you stopped beating your wife?
Yes, 'cause it's her turn to beat me. Wtf?
Djee, what a good last sentence of a post that's mostly a flame.
Reread my post. First half was not a flame.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
