in reply to using the power of consideration responsibly (what is personal attack what is trolling, can you lose power to consider)

I've read the three reaped posts, and both http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=326922 and http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=92975.

As AnonymousMonk points out, according to those guidelines, the three reaped posts should not have been reaped. They should have been down-voted or ignored.

I would like to suggest that the guidelines be revised. From sad experiece with other groups ( non-Perl ), allowing postings like the three reaped posts is a cancer which I've seen ruin groups and chase away legitimate users.

My view is that Personal Attacks and posts meant to incite non-Perl-related controversy, including those using legitimate content as a cover, should be eligible for Consideration.

Trolls and fanatics deserve no quarter; none should be given.
