I meant the use of the word "cult" to be about as pejorative as its use in the Catholic church -- in keeping with the "monk" motif of perlmonks:

cult

kəlt/

noun

a system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object.

"the cult of St. Olaf"

Its understandable that the humor would escape some but really, my experience is that asking tough questions of Moose "devotees" instills in me the kind of aversion that I have to questioning the beliefs of a Jesuit:

I have great respect for their ability to explain their philosophy while also explaining why I must attend confession and learn my catechism. That is even ignoring the occasional hell-fire and brimstone zealot.

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).
