in reply to Translation for Perl for Fun and Profit

Complaint hidden since the offending comment has been amended. I suggest you, gentle reader, just skip this, despite me refusing to try to rewrite history and thus leaving it for the morbidly curious.

First is that all my text is an object (I can hear tye groaning already).

Seems you might be better served to pay more attention to things I actually say and to pay less attention to noises that you imagine I make. Or perhaps to keep your misinformed imaginings about my opinions to yourself.

I've frequently argued in favor of using objects and classes. There are particular subtechniques of OO that I have frequently argued against. But each of those are quite explicitly about how to avoid doing OO badly, not about avoiding doing OO. So I find it hard to imagine how little attention you must have paid in order to form such an incorrect impression of what I was arguing. Or, why you feel it wise to throw in such a comment about something that you have so effectively ignored the substance of.

Or perhaps making off-hand comments attributing opinions quite opposite to ones I've frequently expressed is something you think qualifies as humor? If so, I guess you presume that my opinions are so widely known that readers will realize the absurdity of your claim and chuckle?

I don't presume such fame and find it tiring to have to defend my beliefs, especially in such an off-topic manner that will surely be widely interpreted as a downer.

I would appreciate it if you would refrain from commenting on your interpretations of my beliefs in unrelated writings. Even if your interpretations had not been so incorrect, I would still likely have found it rude to be brought in as a side show in an aside. Thank you.
