Man, I'm glad you can keep such a good attitude about the post. I know I was really pissed when I saw it, but maybe I just get carried away too much.
I've had very irritating experiences reading /., chatting on irc, playing qw (with cheaters on the server), etc, and I just don't want that kind of stuff to come over to perlmonks. Ever since this site went up I've felt as if it where a haven. Not really underground but a strong community center. I just don't want to see it spoiled.
At any rate, congratulations on the attitude! I'm going to shut-up now. :o)
Yeah having to put up with people like that my entire life helps. An individual is not what you want to be where I grew up. Anyway, I know what you're saying. I hope we can keep this place sane as it grows.
PS. Thanks for the defense, but ya think you went a little overboard on the compliments? Maybe I was born knowing perl, but I've never even seen a line of ADA in my life ;)
Err... I was being sarcastic towards the Anonymous Monk! What I meant to say was that someone who can be such a bitch must have been born a "Mr. Knowitall". :o) I'll edit the post so that it's more understandable...
(I've never seen a line of ADA in my life either, but I've heard its pretty cool)
