A matter of perspective (and ego), clearly,

Feels like a dig; but I can't see what your getting at so I'll ignore it.

I'd call that an example of success of the current system.

I fail to see how limiting interactions between willing participants here can ever be considered a success; if we inhibited all interactions; that'd be an even bigger success right!

Again, your judgement versus the expressed judgements of how many individuals?

Vocal or silent, how many individuals have upvotes pro-posts; versus those that have down-voted anti-posts in this thread?

And how many pro-OT section monk's have left this place taking their experience and knowledge with them because their jobs have evolved to mean they no longer work with Perl and thus find this place no longer of relevance?

Maybe if this place was more tolerant of the reality that most of us daily deal with languages and subjects that whilst on the edges of Perl; are still relevant to what we do with Perl; more of those often highly knowledgeable people would still be around; and this place would be all the better for them.

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". I'm with torvalds on this
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice. Agile (and TDD) debunked
