As a respectful ( I hope, ) Monk here at the Monastery, I wish to say that I am sorry for the article/petition I posted. I thought long and hard about it, and wanted to give some of my ideas/opinions, alas, I gave too much information (of my own,) and it all didn't need to be posted. If there is a next time, I surely will try my best not to create a rift such as this has created, I by no means, wanted to start a mini-flame war, and hope it stops here.

I simply ask for your forgiveness for the trouble I have caused with my latest node, and hope that you all will forgive me, especially you, tilly.

Yes, I have grown up a lot in the maturity level of what I post, since I first came here, as you can see if you feel like it in my older nodes (which most are really really really stupid...) and lately have taken a lot more time to consider what I am writing.

I really think that jlongino had a good summary of the two articles, and brings the best argument to the forefront, which was "Both should have used more private means to express the negative aspects of their posts." I think that if there is a next time, that this should happen instead of me creating a problem or rift like this.

This problem should have never happened, but it is mostly my fault for planting the seed for this trouble to start, and I am sorry that I ever did it. I just didn't think that it would cause such a ripple. I will think twice in the future.

I also would like to apologize publicly to vroom since I made some rude comments and presuppositions about what he actually does. I don't really need to make comments like that, and am very grateful that you have spent your time working and creating Perl Monks... thanks!

Please forgive me, and thanks for listening to my opinion (although it might be a bit raw sometimes...).
