When I first saw this post my eyes rolled. I abhor censorship of any type and defend individuality. I figured this was just one of those flame nodes and moved on. Then this morning I observed PodMaster spewing in the chatterbox and felt obliged to make my opinion known.

For myself part of what makes this site great is it's mix professionalism and depth of characters in its contributors. Personally I find that while hubris is a unique trait of Perl developers, PodMaster's signature line detracts from professionalism, character, and his perception of appropriate hubris, but it is up to him how to present his persona.

I simply trust that there are enough good quality posts on this site to override the line noise that some posts/signatures create.
