1nickt, when exactly did I miss that you've been promoted to a moderator of the monastery who's in charge to censor contributions?

Instead of using words like "pollute" and stirring an inquisition/witch hunt climate what about demonstrating your contributions to Perl5 and showing alternatives to development in a positive way?

It's my personal believe that Perl6 should have been better named Perl++ from the beginning and that this resulted in a marketing disaster. ²

But I'd really prefer to see positive contributions to Perl5 by the critics, instead of spilling hatred against the P6 folks.

Nota Bene: it took Perl5 over 15 years to add function signatures to core and it's still experimental.

Now how is this a convincing position to damage other contributions?

²) well, easy to say in hindsight... but I'm repeating this since 2008 ( update and since it's Larry's decision I have to accept it. It's his language!)
