If not, and they are just there for caching purposes, the script tags can be moved down to the end of the page just before the so that the page renders FIRST and doesn't block while it pulls the JavaScript to cache it.

When I complained about the horrendously long load times due to Javascript [perl.org], pudge nitpicked my whatever it was about how I complained about it, basically told me I have no idea what I am talking about, and refused to engage the question on technical grounds to any extent whatsoever. Maybe if the complaint comes from someone he doesn’t personally dislike, he’ll actually manage to listen.

False. I argued against your actual points where you were incorrect.
basically told me I have no idea what I am talking about
False. I told you that you had no idea what you were talking about in certain aspects. I even said you were right about some things, but obviously wrong about others.
and refused to engage the question on technical grounds to any extent whatsoever
Utterly false, as anyone can plainly see from the discussion.

A fine claim, considering your comment elsewhere on this thread:
Yes, anyone can plainly see that from the discussion.
You have literalism down to a fine art.

I don't really want you to explain that odd claim you're making, because I know you can't, and won't. I just wanted to point out you're being a stupid asshole, as usual.

Telling people that they are stupid, arseholes, or both, is just what you do. You didn’t have to bother mentioning your desire to do so.
The reality I live in is the one in which picking out the bits where you can justifiably tell the other person they're wrong while completely ignoring everything else is and remains a refusal to engage the question. Whether or not you answered anything technical is, again, picking out something where you can justifiably use a literal interpretation of what I said to

Nope. I almost never do it, actually. That you see me do it as a relatively high percentage of my posts does not mean other people do.

I didn't do that, of course, as the discussion showed.
Oh. But you probably don't mean "completely," "ignoring," or "everything else." I guess I shouldn't take you literally. You probably mean simply "not answering everything to my utter satisfaction," and to this charge, I not only plead guilty, but I do it proudly.

I read every single thing that gets posted on use.perl, not just things in direct reply to me. If I see it, others see it too.
No, that’s not what I mean. Entirely contrarily to your apparent idea of who I am, a simple “go away” would, in fact, have been satisfactory enough. You didn’t care you

Hm. So what did you mean? If I am to take what you said literally, then you are living on another planet, because your description, taken literally, does not represent reality. So I gave an option of how to take you nonliterally. Have you another?

Wow, this is the pot calling the china black ...

Ditto.
And as far as I'm concerned, you needn't lift a finger to fix the megabyte-size front page
And as far as I'm concerned, what you want has no effect on me whatsoever anyway.
My mistake was bringing my plight to you in hopes that you might consider this something obviously worth fixing for everyone who visits the site
Oh, fuck yourself with an anvil. Your mistake was in being an asshole to me, plain and simple.
Re: (Score:1)
Wrong. None of that thread had anything to do with me trying to be right about anything. I wanted to know whether this issue would be fixed on the site or I would have to fix it locally. Instead of saying anything useful, you told me that I was wrong about various of my guesses. So I tried to get an answer as to whether any site features I use require Javascript, which you wouldn’t answer with a straight yes or no either.

Riiiiiiiiight. Pull the other one.

You also tried to be an asshole. And you succeeded!
Clearly this is me being an arsehole to you [perl.org].
I never said you were an arsehole, I said you were an asshole. And yes, lines like the interface I do actually use is trivial to implement without any use of Javascript whatsoever (as if you could possibly know that) and So how about giving an example of how a feature I use requires YUI stuff, instead of skirting the matter with "you don't know what it's for" hints? are good examples of your assholishness.
