A guy with rather bad manners and a record of down-voted post (demonstrating questionable social skills) passes by and spreads FUD.

But the monk community takes it serious and starts discussing his unsubstantiated claims.

> One of the reasons Larry might think ... the Perl community ... mean spirited ...

Oh really, does he think so? So ...

Why should Larry come to every YAPC and even more national conferences if he was thinking like this?
Why would he need an ersatz troll to communicate his sorrows?

Well .. OK ... let's start a new discussion:

What made January born babies so ugly and bad smelling?
You know what I'm talking about!
The internet proving this and we all are worried about the consequences.
It has already driven some long-time parents away from having more babies.
Countermeasures must be taken now!
Do something!

Cheers Rolf

LOL My first introduction to the concept was the political variant: Have you stopped beating your wife yet? I have taken to responding to these kinds false-assertion questions with: Objection, Your Honor: Supposition. If that gets questions rolling about what I mean, success. For that matter, if they look confused and simply move on, still sucess.	[reply]

I was a January baby. Luckily, my parents didn't expose me on a mountain in an urn because of ugliness and whiffiness, and I eventually became a Perlist. However, am I a mean-spirited one? Well, if you were to look and smell like me, you'd be just as curmudgeonly! :D	[reply]

That was quite mean spirited, young Monk! So much for not "feeding this further" yourself!	[reply]
