You are trolling with this post.

You are claiming your module as your baby by rating it highly and being pissed when other people ask you not to rate your own work highly. You are failing to take constructive criticism when people point out to you that it's not productive to rate your own module.

You make a quite a few anecdotal complaints about people here and about people who have worked on open-source projects and then proclaim yourself holier-than-all.

I, personally, am a credited contributor to open-source projects before 2004 as well. Big deal. I'm not claiming to be better than anyone else because of it, and in fact there are plenty of better programmers here than I am. I also happen to have a decent amount of XP here, although it's not a runaway level. I and several others can assure you I've not made a habit of kissing ass or even of refusing to rock the boat.

You are not special just because you wish to be. Quit whining about being singled out for persecution even though you're God's own gift to programming. You're not being treated specially to the good or the bad. Your module may be very good. I haven't been hot and bothered to look at it. Yet claiming -- demanding -- some right to be acknowledged as an uberprogrammer and to be expected to objectively rate your own module is just crass self-promotion. How does that make your module not "your baby", when you're pissed that people won't agree that you, personally, should rate it highly?

Wishing someone would die in a horrible accident because you disagree with them is juvenile and anti-social. You should probably seek professional help.

BTW, considering the care you take with your spelling and grammar to communicate to the public, I really don't want to trust your code. If "To many people think", "constructed criticism", "find out they where just dump", "open minded to reality then those other people" is your idea of careful and precise communication among people, then I'd hate to see how you communicate your intent to a computer.

Call me a troll. I know you're going to call everyone who disagrees with you in this thread a troll anyway. Don't lump me in with some organized "troll army" run by some Perlmonks cabal, though. If such a thing even existed I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be welcome in it even if I wanted to be.

Please, try and muster some of that objective detachment you claim so vociferously. You are the one trolling here, calling yourself a persecuted martyr and making harsh judgments against a large and diverse group simply because you're doing something unpopular. Perhaps you should try to see why your action is unpopular and determine whether you are wrong or the consensus is wrong. That's what being objective and detached means, and it doesn't just apply to code quality.
