Let me address this a section at a time. Some of my comments are inline, in bold where required.

"All languages are invented languages!"

You're missing the point. Read the book if you care to find out why. It's fun.

"After 4 + years of playing with the system I've created, I can tell you it's stable, reliable, easy to use, and highly tolerant of faults and bad coding in the document layer. The only caveat is that it's not fast enough, which is why I asked for help to speed it up in the first place!"

I believe you were give advice on how to address the performance issues with your code.

"There is plenty of base for legal action! citation needed All I want is the data removing, it's not a big request, I've even offered to pay for it to be removed, but TPTB on this site would rather keep hold of a permanent record with my real name on it for whatever reasons they see fit which I don't hold with and find personally intrusive and an invasion of privacy."

You should have read How can I wipe every trace of myself from PerlMonks?, via PerlMonks FAQ, which is linked to on Create A New User. The alternative is not to behave in a way in which you are ashamed to the point where you'd want to delete everything you'd ever written in order to save face. Always read the contract, front and back.

"And yes I know I entered the data of my own freewill, but I was unaware that a) The monks on here would have such a field day bashing the noob citation needed, and b) that the results of which would be held on permanent PUBLIC record. There are clear conflicts of rights here which they refuse to admit and refuse to deal with lawfully. In my book that makes whoever is doing this to me some sort of cowardly twisted sicko getting kicks out of what's gone on here whilst thinking he's beyond reproach and above the law citation needed."

If you have "4 +" years of experience I don't consider you a "noob". However no "noob" bashing occurred. You agreed when signing up to the house rules. Like most people you probably didn't read them. You've yet to point out a single law which covers this so called injustice.

"Back on the subject of advice being received, just because I don't instantly understand or agree with what someone is saying doesn't mean I'm ignorant or stupid."

Agreed, but nobody here said you were stupid because you didn't instantly understand or agree with what someone else was saying.

"I have my reasons for pursuing what I'm pursuing, and a big part of that reason is the experience of working with the system I already have and have had for these last 4 + years. I don't want work with the "kosher" mainstream tools, I do things the way I like to do them and that is that. TIMTOWTDI, and I have my way that I am happy with other than the processing speed which as I noted before, was the sole reason I came here and shared what I have in the first place."

Well the problem with performance seems to relate to how you want to do things, which we've already touched on.

"One particular response I received stands in clear contrast to the DROSS of most responses, and that was by Boldra who showed me a cool trick with Moose which has spawned a lot of ideas and a new coding track which I have been working on for the last few days.... Not a sign of condescension, or attempts to coerce me from following the path that I have chosen for myself, or complaints about what an obvious troll I am... none of that crap, just a bit of interesting code which might be useful... that response was ideal and a big part of why I come back here to listen to the reams of CRAP which are thrown at me so I can catch the occasional diamond."

None of this is new. Over the years I've seen users come and go. For certain people for whatever reason, this place doesn't seem to work for. Often it's a problem to do with communication. I remember telling someone how to compile Perl for source, but to a user defined path, and pointed them towards the README file which comes with the source. Sadly this was after they'd destroyed their system by overwriting the system Perl. Their response was "Either you're calling me an idiot, or it's not in there (the README) because I read it already". I provided links proving it was in the README file for a few years of Perl releases, initially they refused to "believe" me. The same person argued in the CB for literally a month about packaging modules for CPAN. They couldn't or wouldn't understand what anyone told them. It went on like this until someone, popped in and simply said "Think of CPAN as dumb storage", and the penny dropped. It was all in the phrasing and finality of the response.

At no point am I claiming the user in question is "an idiot" as you say. Like you they were passionate about what they wanted to do. Like the language creators in the book I referenced, they drove away people who tried to help them.
