in reply to A New Respect

I don't have much too say about it since I don't usually hang around that much in the chatterbox.

But there was this one where I was overly active, talking about something (which I don't really remember, maybe something YAML related) which sparkled some strong views from many other monks. One of those was Intrepid. He seemed very unreasonable while discussing things and someone private messaged me saying that he was a troll and I should ignore him. I didn't actually understand that by ignoring him, he meant /ignoreing him, but it seemed fairly reasonable to just ignore whatever he was saying about that subject.

I think these demonstrations of unreasonable behaviour is what created this "bad aura" around Intrepid. However, I don't really agree with people making a campaign to "silence" him (i.e. everyone should /ignore him). And I don't really know about this "borging" thing, since I wasn't around when the incident happened (although I don't talk much, I usually read the chatterbox).

Either way, there's something here that some people here seems to not quite understand.
PerlMonks isn't merely a web site. PerlMonks is *the* Perl website.
PerlMonks + some selected mailing lists is pretty much the entirePerl community.

If this guy tries to find a job somewhere PerlMonks aware he might even suffer in the RealWorld(tm) from all of this.

    Then he should stop trying to get the rest of the known universe to cap his ass. I don't think his decision to be principled also means he has to be a fuck about it.
