  • First point:

    You don't like Perl 6.

    You did not involve yourself in that project.

    You don't like what others have done.

    You have some weird ideas on how community projects work: you think that there's a cabal that controls the project. Well, you may call it a cabal, but anyone can join. You just have to write some idea in the mailing lists, or talk on the IRC channels, or submit a patch to the code or the documentation.

    If you have an interest in the outcome of the project, you don't ignore it for 12 years and t

    • Wow, the more I think about your reply, the more I am amazed. Do they have this kind of hold on you? Look at the logo they pushed. Look at the response Wall and his minions had on that.

        Give me a break. More conformist behavior. I'm tired of it -

        • Give me a break.

          From what?

          You are the one who brought up P::RD. Then you proceeded to fantasise a completely hypothetical response to your point; then worked yourself into a lather over the fantasy; then proceeded to hallucinate that something real took place – and yeah, then you needed a break from an “exchange” which took place entirely inside your head.

          You know what the funniest thing is?

          Everyone already knows to avoid Damian-ware. Imagine. No one is offended. No one cares.
