In If it ain't broke, don't fix it blue_cowdawg said, "XP is probably the least important facet of PM to me anyway." To me, the least important facet of PM is profanity. Everyone is dull and repetitive in the use of profanity. The lack of creative is truly tragic:).

What is important, to me, about Perl Monks is Perl. I already know how to curse (uncreatively). I don't need lessons or practice. I need lessons and practice in Perl. I need to read Perl, to write Perl and to discuss Perl. Profanity is getting in the way because some of the people I need to discuss Perl with are discussing profanity. If we can get away from posts about profanity, irritated replies to posts about profanity, 'yes I think so too' posts about profanity and irritated replies to all of the above it would be a good thing.

So if we can give those monks that are concerned about profanity a way to turn it off (and that would satisfy them, which is doubtful) then do it and let's go back to Perl. If giving people a choice about profanity doesn't work, doesn't satisfy those who care or if giving a choice can't be done; how about we move on anyway?

Leave profanity to experts like George Carlin and go back to the expertise of the Perl Monks.
