Disagree. Said why before. Short version: if you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it. If an optically senior monk causes a disaster or cost overruns or whatever on some company contract, it reflects badly on all senior monks and Perl in general and not in some vague, existential numbering way but in an actual: "Wow, this is the best Perl has to offer? God, no wonder everyone hates it."

New reason: the anonymous hate posts are often embarrassingly stupid, adolescent, and illiterate. It's fruitless to respond to them. A clarification of context about their idiocy is valuable to show the whole house isn't built of sniping cowards.
