"Poisonous people will show up and distract your developers from productive work. They cause emotional drain because they'll start infighting or squabbling or that sort of thing. What they do is basically: you're going down a certain road and they're going to either stop you, slow you down, or try and turn you off a different road. Some people will do this on purpose, some people will do this by accident.... These people who will disrupt your progress are not always doing it intentionally, in fact I think more often they're doing it unintentionally. They're so into the project and they want it to be so perfect that they will actually end up hurting you with their perfectionism."

"The other thing that's going on, which I think is very troubling, is the gangsterization of American politics that has occurred really in the last 10 years. By the gangsterization of American politics I mean this: It is the idea that the person who disagrees with you isn't your critic, he's your enemy. You have to shut him up, or take him out."

Best wishes to p5p, and the critics... May Perl always prosper!
