This was posted in PerlMonks Discussion. It has nothing to do with the PerlMonks website. I have moved it to Meditations. Please read PerlMonks Sections to determine the appropriate section for your posts. — Ken	[reply]

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). — Ken	[reply]

What bores us to death? by LanX (Saint) on Feb 06, 2017 at 22:18 UTC
And is the recent rise of trolling related to the shut down of IMDB's message boards?	[reply]

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	[reply] [d/l]

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	[reply]

LanX, I think you enjoy the loss of market share that Perl has experienced.	[reply]

Well not as much as I would enjoy your loss of board share...	[reply]
