      he knows!

      that's an old troll with a very recognizable style.

      choosing the wrong section is part of his provocation.

        I ignore trolls to the extent that I wouldn't recognise one's style from another's.

        I did recognise the attempted provocation (in the reply directed at me): it didn't provoke a response.

        Regardless, it was in the wrong section so I moved it (just as I would have done for any post in the wrong section).

What bores us to death?

    And is the recent rise of trolling related to the shut down of IMDB's message boards?

      What happened to IMDB and Perl? Can you share the info/link?

      Mike Rothers says that it almost doesn't matter what you improve, as long as you are improving something. -- The Phoenix Project
        They are shutting down the comments/forums/boards because the only traffic they get is diehards and trolls. The flaming no longer makes them look good or money. The regular people all left for twitter/facebook. They said social media but explain fb twit. Some malarkey about using your real human name global blah blah... Its all forums. Nothing to do with perl just trolls finding a new home
      LanX, I think you enjoy the loss of market share that Perl has experienced.
        Well not as much as I would enjoy your loss of board share...
