"He used to cut the grass"
I have no idea what that phrase means, but now I'm the "formerly respected" member of the Perl community.
Despite the low number of comments in my "Toxic Developers" post, a lot of people are talking to me about it at OSCON. I'd thought I'd get a lot of hate mail over it, but it's been just the opposite.

if perl were subjected (Score:2)
to the same scrutiny, no one would be using it today given the history of perl and vicious personality conflicts.
I was under the impression that the conflict and legal threats were personal, not Tony threatening users or programmers dealing with his code. I'm surprised about the threat, but making a big deal out of what likely should have remained personal seems to only intensify the situation rather than quell it.
In the absence of information, people simply make shit up...just like Perl6 development
