Yes we do differ.

We differ on the idea of a "Price of Admission", purity smell tests on what is or isn't Perl-ish enough and making a 'memorable' impression on someone who just signed up to the site. On each of those points I feel you have been heavy handed often. I don't see how it serves a constructive purpose for an OP or other visitors considering posting a question for the first time. Are there people that try to abuse the generosity of this place, definitely but I do not think as often as your archive of RTFM replies suggest.
