...or don't fight at all; just... code ;)

While code is definitely the best remedy, I believe that not fighting back when being openly, obnoxiously, constantly, attacked is not a viable strategy. Not when we are surrounded by broken robots with pockets full of google cash chanting "python everywhere", which means "perl (and all others) nowhere". That kind of totalitarian ideology is deeply offensive to The Programming Republic of Perl and should be dealt with by something other than ignore-ance. Some will fight with code, others with mere barewords strung together as sentences, and hopefully most will do both.
