Goddarded! Godwinned! (jdporter++)
I make a lot of money with Perl and it is in no small part because of work MST has done. He’s a little fast on the draw with the f-bomb. He’s also contributed huge amounts of very good work for, as you say, free. If you don’t enjoy a particular personal interaction, be an adult and don’t seek it. AFAIK there are no expletives in the documentation he’s written for his generally excellent code.
I’d rather have ten MSTs telling me I’m AN F-TARDED IDIOT than a single anonymous etiquette cop telling me how nice it is that I’m friendly on IRC.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
