Read this post, I cannot understand why tech discussion should be suddenly turned into personal attacks. If that's just my misunderstanding of the purpose of that reply, then can we show a little bit respect to each other?

Nobody is 100% right, your comment on other people's post is for kindness, but it is absolutely my decision whether to follow other's suggestion, especially on things not black and white. Don't over-react.

I would like to follow other's comments, if I agree. For example, lots of people commented on my perl IDE in perl. I really like all the ideas about the editor part, that will for sure save lots of my time, so I can focus on the visual integration. I haven't ++'d all of them yet, but I do appreciate all the comments, and would follow up.

A while ago, I had a little discussion ;-) with Aristotle on this thread, but I eventually accepted his comment, and used Text::Tabs.

Whether I use someone's suggestion, is not a direct judgement of the correctness of one's idea, it simply because I use a different set of criteria. There are always more than one good silutions, and lots of time, there is no single best solution.

As for the behavior and personality, it is each one's own responsibility, not much others can do.
