Sit down, shut up, and have some humble pie.

That's really not helpful.

It's obvious that Logicus has generated some friction recently, but for all of the bad faith ascribed to him, he's posting code (and it's getting better) and, for better or worse, he's experimenting.

I can't defend abusiveness pro or contra his project or his character, and I'm growing more tired of attacks against him and his project.

I might not ever use aXML or Slang, and I've pointed out a security hole (now fixed) and some further research opportunities for writing a more efficient implementation, but even if I never use the projects, there's no reason for continued abuse against him.

Critique the implementation. Suggest other options. By all means, encourage Logicus to write better code—but please let the rest of it go. He's posting code. He's demonstrating improvements and research. This is behavior to encourage.

    And the other behaviour, is behaviour to be discouraged.

    If you want help, all it costs you is an honest and civil tongue.

      By all means, if you find any particular question or comment incivil feel free to ignore it or to respond with "I find this incivility unhelpful."

      However, following someone around to berate him repeatedly is, as I see it, inexcusably incivil and I prefer a PerlMonks without such behavior.

        Me too!

        I've responded to a dozen nodes by Logicus, but I don't follow him around, and I doubt anyone else does either. New posts show up in Newest Nodes, we read, we respond.

        Just the other day jdrago999 responded to Logicus about plack, all civil like, as if Logicus was not Logicus but a regular user, like jdrago999 has been doing for many nodes.

        The only constant is Logicus , and quite simply, he has all but worn out his welcome -- you just can't go lying and cussing for 300 nodes and expect people to forget, and keep their cool, and then keep banging your drum like nothing happened.

        It works when Logicus veers to a different topic, but as soon as he is back banging his drum, well, you gotta expect someone to be a bastard

        I have given up on Logicus, but I'm glad to see jdrago999 has not.

        I applaud jdrago999 for his courage, for trying to get through to Logicus.
