- It might turn into a reasonable discussion on
compactness vs. complexity if people don't reflexively
consider-for-delete it when they read the author's name.
- Ignoring uncomfortable points of view like "Perl is
losing popularity" isn't exactly the healthiest way of
fighting them.
- "I don't like Wassercrat" isn't a good reason to try
to reap a given post.
- It's bound to provoke a "community standards vs. free
speech" debate, either in the CB or a set of posts, and
lower the signal:noise ratio far more than just letting this
post slide.
- It'd be a waste of the editors' time.
- There is no reason number six.
- Nobody who's advocated deleting this node has given a
good reason beyond shouting "it sucks!" as loud as they can.
(I'm not considering dragonchild's reply
here, as it at least begins to address the node's
content.)
Edit:
Clarification: dragonchild's post
doesn't advocate deleting the OP, which is why I'm not
considering it. It also happens to attack the OP's content,
which I think is a nice touch. I'm not ignoring it simply
because it's a counterexample to my argument. :-)
Or were you just being sarcastic, hoping to score some
points based on Wassercrat's bad reputation?

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
