in reply to Perl Monks with learning disabilities

All I see from his posts is someone who appears to be illiterate and who asks boring questions. Neither of those is a "learning disability".

    How on earth can you draw that conclusion from the posts?
    Do you personally know perlsyntax?
    I for one will be upvoting some of his posts to try and redress the balance.

      It's fairly obvious to me *from his posts* that he lacks the level of literacy that I consider acceptable for an adult (I tend to assume that people here are adults because, well, almost all of us are), and the errors don't look like those that would be made by someone speaking typing English as a foreign language. No, I don't know him personally. That's why I said "from his posts". If I knew him personally and I still had that impression then I obviously wouldn't have added that qualifier.

      And redress what balance? It's very rare that I downvote people for their poor use of English or for posting things that don't interest me. But feel free to vote as you wish. If you want to upvote a particular user's posts regardless of their content I won't stand in your way. I wouldn't stand in your way even if I could.
