Says mothra:
Some of the ops
have power trips and look for ways to kick
people.
That certainly is true. And since the mass exodus
from EFnet, many of the
more moderate and rational people are gone.
I'm starting to feel
like there's too much of this crap going around in -- for some reason mostly Perl --
forums it seems.
While I agree that there is far too much of it going on
(and I'm hoping to give a talk about this at TPC this summer)
I disagree with you that it is mostly in Perl forums.
There are plenty of communities that have worse cases
of this disease. Try reading comp.lang.lisp for
a couple of weeks. Now there is a newsgroup with
big problems.

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).

Want more info? How to link or
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
