From the perspective of cpan ratings, as discussed I'm more concerned about the novice/casual user, those who do not have the time or experience to delve into the source code and pull things apart, essentially, those who can't make an informed decision due to lack of time or ability. You display great technical ability and very often go to great lengths to help people. Reviews aren't arguments, or even conversations. I appreciate that trying to work with others to improve something you feel requires attention can be difficult, but this all depends on the people involved. That said, sometimes we reach an impasse, and it's time to walk away, or just stop.
Back to cpan ratings, with all due respect, if you applied your expertise while sticking to the technical issue at hand your input would be very valuable IMHO.
Perl has a great community, we all pitch in and call each other out when required.
