Tonight I have witnessed something I've not yet seen here at the Monestary. Perhaps it has happened before, I don't know as I myself am somewhat new here.

I (and others) have witnessed one of our members calling people names in the CB, abusing people in the CB (repeatedly), downvoting newbies postings because it would "hurt them more", and even bragged about what he/she was doing.

Vroom and many others have contributed tons of time, patience and experience trying to make this site the wonderful Perl resource that it is. It continues to get better each day with new ideas and new people contributing. Many of us appreciate that and try within our own abilities to help.

I fail to understand this persons reasoning, if in fact he/she does have a reason. It's really sad to see such a good resource as this plagued by actions such as these. And yes, I'm quite certain that person will -- this posting. I guess if that is what makes you happy, then go ahead and --. I'm sure you have your reasons. I'll say this though, my life does not revolve around my XP. I came here to gain knowledge as most of us did. I'll continue to come here for that knowledge in spite of some bad apples that like to -- nodes for no reason.
