in thread 20 most important Perl Best Practices
Because I find her opinion more authoritative than that of the ghosts out of the woodwork.
If you want to do the right thing and not patronize people, you could start by not immediately dismissing what they have to say.
A member of this very forum said "Hey, I felt uncomfortable." Three times.
Something you posted caused that reaction in a member of this forum, sufficient that she posted about it twice in this thread and even wrote a separate blog post about it elsewhere.
Rather than take her at her word, you asked someone outside of this community—outside of the context of this community and outside of the audience of what you posted—for a reaction, and you're willing to dismiss what a member of this community and the target audience of what you posted because someone else gave you an answer you like better.
My favorite part is where you write "ghosts out of the woodwork", as if people don't really feel uncomfortable. Are we to believe that they were just waiting in hiding to pounce on you for anything you do that might possibly give then an opening? Do they not have feelings of their own?
