is that so?

Yes, I believe so, I've seen it expressed in the chatterbox over the years , although thats the only mention in the FAQ.

Some old threads on the topic

more so than e.g. Wikipedia?

Um, perlmonks isn't an encyclopedia, so yes, more so than Wikipedia, simply because the focus is perl and programming, not religion/politics/pornography

if so, then what does this mean/imply?

I'm not sure, that perlmonks is meant to be family friendly?

I'm asking for clarification/guidance -- I'm trying to add to the guidelines known as PerlMonks FAQ
