Link? I'd say your ID is too big (pg has an essay on it). If you say Lisp is crap, I'm not going to be offended even though I think it's a great language. It's something I use, it isn't part of who I am.

  Thanks for providing the link. Having seen it, I can't help but say: lol! You took that one sentance to mean pg was upset that you were arguing with trolls? It looks to me like he thought you were trolling! All kinds of other people were still talking to the person you accuse of being a troll but only you got singled out and asked to stop. None of them and not even the alleged troll. And again it was about perl. I think you seriously need to ask yourself why you're so incredibly sensitive about this subject. No one is criticizing you nor your family. Just a tool that has no feelings or emotions.

    >>All kinds of other people were still talking to the person you accuse of being a troll You are a liar. Here is his account. It is at Karma -10 and it wasn't used after that troll session. http://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=derrickpetzold http://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=derrickpetzold He was posting slams of about your level. ("in other words run the f away from Perl if you can unless you are into S&M"). And so on. >>And again it was about perl. It is something I use a lot, even for fun. You don't like Perl (not "perl") and write 10-20% of comments in discussions about it. So you're just bullshitting here, as trolls do. And you got another comment out of me... :-(

      >You are a liar. Here is his account. It is at Karma -10 and it wasn't used after that troll session. Oh my, it seems I've hit a nerve for some reason. In the post where pg called you specially out to stop, other people responded to the "troll". I wonder why it was only you who got singled out. Further, you're assuming the guy was just a troll. Maybe he came on here, saw that even though this was supposed to be a more sophisticated crowd, there was a lot of perl support here, had one big fight and then decided it wasn't worth his time to bother. >He was posting slams of about your level. More misrepresentation from you. Most of his "slams" were a bit over the top, where as I'm just stating facts with less hyperbole than he had. >You don't like Perl (not "perl") and write 10-20% of comments in discussions about it. I used perl professional for a torturous 5 years. The internet made the correct decision to move away and I'm not going to stand by and let people use propaganda to bring it back. If you people want to keep on using it, go ahead, but stop dragging new programmers down your career dead-end. >So you're just bullshitting here, as trolls do. And you got another comment out of me... :-( The lady doth protest too much, methinks (I really love that one!). I'm having a conversation here. You're constantly screaming "troll! troll!" because you have no useful counter-arguments.

        With all due respect, I don't think you're the one to know what "reasonable people" might object to. Your bias is as clear and well documented as mine if not more-so.
