Ah, well now that I've been edified (thanks marto), my new working theory is that what's happened here is a case of, "...if one... member is constantly being detrimental to the group than it may be productive for civility toward that person to evaporate quickly," where I'm quoting myself from here. Also, perhaps my little joke at the bottom of that node isn't too far off from the reality of this monk either, eh? :-)
Going down a click hole of old interactions on this site with him is... well, a very odd saga to say the least.
Just another Perl hooker - But the purist monks keep telling me I should do it for love, not money.
