I'm not sure what you mean. Examples?

> PerlMonks ought to be only about Perl 5

Perlmonks is not the Perl community, neither officially nor practically!

It's one (out of several Perl related) boards run by volunteers based on some principles. And the community has many other disjoint subgroups which are not based on boards¹.

Afaik none of the vocal opponents of P6 posts here has ever contributed to either perlmonks administration or to improving P5's features.

And their goal is non sensical and apolitical because banning a part of the Perl community as OT would destroy the common base of perlmonks and their cabals.

>  Perl6 ought to BE RENAMED!

Which is totally off topic here, Larry holds all the rights.

Talk to him directly (I already tried this with Damian long ago), but destroying Perlmonks won't change his opinion.

If you (or the cabals) like P6 or not isn't relevant for Perlmonks policy.

PM is based on TIMTOWTDI.

That means PM will never ban Perl4 or CGI.pm or even one day Catalyst or Mojolicious or Dancer.

Even more importantly PM will never ban threads being in favour of P5 ...

update

In other words you are free to start a "rename perl 6" thread, but not to troll (or any other mobbing) of P6 contributors .
