  It appears that people don't like you. I don't know why your surprised at this, because it's been apparent for months. I don't even know you and we haven't talked personally, but even I know people don't like you.
  
  If you want to talk to Mark Fowler, you could have simply gotten his contact information from the bottom of the Perl Advent Calendar page (where it says "contact the webmaster").

    "If you want to talk to Mark Fowler, you could have simply gotten his contact information from"

    Mark Fowler's contact information [2shortplanks.com] says he has an E-mail address, and also can be reached by IRC on irc.perl.org and more rarely on AIM. The issue was that I wrote several E-mails to him for which I did not receive a reply, and wanted to find out if he received them and what he thought about them. So I needed to find an interactive way to talk to him, and IRC was my best choice.

      You get banned from IRC and people don't answer your emails...
      
      Perhaps you should solve that problem first. :)

        People usually answer my E-mails - that's not the problem. Fowler had a good reason for not answering my E-mails, and I was able to talk to him on IRC a couple of times, and get updated. That's not a problem either.
