Ahh,I should have recognized the similarity in styles.

If you're expecting that people will not build a reputation based on past posts, you are quite naive. I've just reviewed the things you've said as metaperl, and never once did you come to to table without having done your homework or attacking Perl when really it was something you did wrong. Both things which you as princepawn eventually got a reputation for.

I don't think you could have been metaperl without having also been princepawn for a while. You learned what pushed people's buttons here as princepawn, and you consciously avoided those with metaperl.

Sure, I could create other_guy that says only uncontroversial things too, and probably would have gotten to saint a bit faster. But I believe that would have been an abuse of the XP system.

You are using pseudonyms to hide, and for me, that just lost my trust of you. I hope you're happy with that. I feel conned. And I don't like feeling conned. I won't be helping princepawn or metaperl any more. Period. And I would ask others to join me in this stand.
