LanX, you and now BrowserUk are doing more to devalue the Monastery than is the target of your campaign of harassment and baiting.

You've hijacked another thread with your puerile taunts, whereas the one you call a troll simply posted a discussion -- of little depth and dubious relevance, perhaps -- of a Perl module and programming technique.

So if a new or potential user of this site is reading through recent threads and comes upon two of the top-ranked monks hazing an author of low-quality posts, do you think that will make the newcomer (a) more likely, or (b) less likely, to engage with the site, and the language?

Once again I publicly appeal you to stop your troll-baiting. Much as it may give you a cheap thrill (" this stunt was just for fun. :)"), it sullies the place about which you claim to care.


The way forward always starts with a minimal test.
