Personally I find his page hideously offensive in several different ways, and unbecoming of a monk. If this was a Buddhist monastery for example, the head monk would thwack him with a bamboo stick and tell him to sit up straight and focus on Perl. Haven't got up the courage to go to the temple next door at 6 am Sunday and try it myself though.. :)
The swastika might be illegal for German monks to view.
It is emotional illness to post many requests for help to people while insulting them as best he can. Poor guy.
But because of the PM custom of linking to a user's node every time they are mentioned, I think he is taking advantage of PM's architecture to spread hate. A hate-monger, not a perl-monger. How rabid, the anti-monk. I mean he posts a swastika while saying he's against the Nazis, he thanks people while telling horrible American jokes, he just can't calm down.
His replies (4/7) imply that monks who support the continued existence of his current node are somehow allied with his views. I am not for new policies, but do think it possible to protect freedom without enabling media-hacking by hate-filled individuals. Recently there was a big uproar about relatively benign media-hacking by some of the saint level monks who add characters to their post titles. Too bad nobody took me up on smileys..
My suggestion is that he be asked to remove most everything on his home node above his reply due to its extremely antagonistic content which is not appropriate to PM. I've read it several times to be fair and am utterly nauseated and am afraid I will stumble over a link to this node and click it by accident. I really don't want to do that, it strikes nerves that shouldn't have to be struck when I'm at PM. At least I don't hit AgentM's page by accident (actually I forget what's there but won't go change my browser to find out).
I think PM makes it too easy for people to disturb the environment with hate and idiocy. It takes a thick skin, but there are limits as our AMs will tell you.
The net Hate site was useful to me. They have so much crap listed it makes Alex's work look like script-kiddie droppings. Then there is a link at the bottom to antiracist sites. They say they promote freedom of speech and I suppose it is important to be able to look this shit in the face to work against it. But we've tried talking. Let's work against hatred here, and either get the offensive text off PerlMonks, or add a Javascript alert that tells people it contains information likely offensive to most people. That way new users will know what this guy is thinking when he talks to them online. We can talk more but if he keeps it up I will reply to every question of his I see with a reference to his home node.
