A boycott would only hurt everyone (as I see you've already concluded) As to the other matters it's all bad business. But then we are dealing with Open Source and Perl, so the boundries of the playing field are considerably different.

I think with all the help you've given to the Perl community and on Perlmonks you've the right to air any dirty laundry you see fit. That being said, I think your solicitation for input does more damage than good. In the future I hope you decide to use other venues for such disputes. I hope all parties concerned can get past these issues in a resonable and fair fashion and keep the illusion of the pedestal that some of us put the Perl elite on untarnished
