in reply to RFC: how to push the boundries without being annoying?

I did my best not to respond with anger, or by arguing a loosing battle.
I applaud your restraint. It is always best to "turn the other cheek" when faced with rudeness on the internet. Doing so sets a good example for others, does not waste your time, does not waste my time when I stumble upon your posting, and keeps the clutter to a minimum. Developing a thick skin is good for your psyche.

Although it is specific to the Monastery, it is good to adhere to the general advice in How (Not) To Ask A Question.

Update: Honoring jeffa's request, I have used a different link above.

      OT: this is more of a PerlMonks Discussion topic.

      I was unaware of an issue with node id 174051. The reason I used a link to that node was because when I "Comment On" (reply to) a node, the advice below the text box tells me to "Please read these before you post!", and the second item in the list is the node that you don't want me to link to.

      I will try to keep this in mind, but what about everyone else who posts here at the Monastery? How are they expected to know that there is a plagiarism issue with this node?

        I can only educate them one by one.

      boo_radley on 2002‑06‑07: "Unless I hear objections to it, I'll be adding this to the perl monks faq by 12JUN2002."
      jeffa:
      I'd say your objection has come a little late.

        I noticed how you conveniently left out the part where my name was remove AFTER there were no objections. That's what we call shady and slimy politics, jdporter. But it's moot. I'm gone now. Take my node and shove it. :)
