I have a lot of respect for both of you (Chromatic and Stevieb) and suspect you're far better informed on these issues, but I feel like Flavio Poletti when he said, "P5P outsider here ... I didn't see abusing, only discussion on technical merits. Is the reference to the CoC actually referring to some other discussion, or maybe to some moderation applied to that thread? I genuinely don't know." in blogs.perl.org/users/rurban/2016/04/the-removal-of-the-lexical-topic-feature-in-524.html (with no reply)

Kicking a genius out of p5p and off blogs.perl.org for technical criticism of other people's work is shameful and deeply offends my understanding of freedom of speech. We would be better off if p5p was a ferocious sharktank of adult concepts rather than a kindergarten of childish hurt feelings. While cooperation is necessary, some competition is also healthy, and justified criticism should lead to self-improvement--and of course that goes BOTH ways (as we see in SOPW every day, or at least, every other day :) On the other hand there are claims of inaccuracies, however the opportunity to justify THAT claim was suspiciously renounced, in the last comment here: blogs.perl.org/users/rurban/2016/04/overview-of-current-maintainer-fails.html

I don't know enough to take a side, except the side of Perl. Maybe he needed time-out like Linus did, or maybe some snowflakes need to stop melting when light hits them. I do know that Reini is a very intelligent, informative and amusing Perl-critic on brutal mode: perl11.org/blog/cperl-is-not-a-religion.html

It would be wonderful to see some sort of reconciliation and reunification of Perl's best minds to help propel it into the 21st century, and beyond. Developments in Perl seems to be approaching a critical mass for a glorious future. I wish Larry would take control of Perl 5 for a bit just to set things straight and heal the community.

Peace, Love & Perl!
