I don't want to analyse the pros and cons of this post and responses, but I think it's a sign of good community that we can talk about issues to do with our community and the way we should/do treat community members.

perlsyntax let me congratulate you for your courage in letting perlfan bring this up and thanks to perlfan for taking the time. I hope that you find perlmonks a safe environment that you can improve your programming skills as well as community skills (as many perlmonks have over the years).

To those who commented along the lines of "perlsyntax needs to learn for himself" - you are totally right, and presumably that's why he's here - but maybe we can also learn about how to improve our teaching/explaining/understanding skills at the same time.
