Friar,

It just happaned that, being somewhat attracted to Perl, I signup for a PM account. Prior to that however, I posted an anonymous node in reply to some perl question. However, since I was new to the site, I guess I replied to a thread that was already full with much better responces.

This, somehow, provoked inflamatory remarks to my post on part of NodeReaper. I think that this was totally unwarranted. I mean, I couldn't expect a responce more hostile than that made by the NodeReaper.

My question is, is he an individual not affiliated with PerlMonks.com? other than being a member of the site? If he indeed is affiliated with the staff (who maintains this site) and therefore represents views of those who administer this site, I think i'll may as well call for a resignation from the Monastery. It really is appaling :-/ My thinking is that Pearl community must be much warmer to any newcomers etc. I regret that I didn't find it here.

I'd be glad to learn that the mentioned individual is not infact affiliated with this site (staff/admins) and therefore doesn't represent it's views. In which case, I will simply ignore that member.

Cheers,
c0d3...
