Just FYI... I am not the jdporter who is aka boo_radley. (Indeed, he and I have been striving over the "jdporter" alias for many years. :-)
It's hardly debatable that we are indeed both (intolerant and capricious).
These are the consequences of having not rigorously defined policies and rules
and rather letting the community decide for itself what it tolerates or not,
and the makeup of the community being in a constant state of flux over time.⇒
I'm not sure when I joined SiteDocClan, but my first edit to a group wiki was on 2003-08-27.
I'm not sure when I joined pmdev, but my first edit to a group wiki was on 2005-12-28 and I submitted my first patch on 2006-01-26.
I joined gods on 2015-06-21 (in the ineffably resplendent form called erzuuli).
PerlMonks Quine:
perl -MLWP::Simple -e "getprint 'http://perlmonks.org/?node_id=170442;
+displaytype=displaycode'"

Previously, I used this:
Between the mind which plans and the hands which build, there must be a mediator... and this mediator must be the heart.
This is a line (my own translation) from the classic movie Metropolis.
Incidentally, my homenode pic above is a frame cap from this movie as well.
In the movie, the building of the mega-city Metropolis is likened to the legendary tower of Babel.
This was intended as a warning: Knowing the fate which befell Babel, the builders of the present age should
take care to avoid the same sins, and thus the same fate. Specifically, the builders of Babel lacked "heart" (a spirit of compassion and a willingness to compromise), and this resulted in a cataclysmic conflict between management and labor.
Most languages are like StackOverflow: I have a question, I want the best answer.
Perl is like PerlMonks: I have a doubt, I want to read an interesting discussion about it that is likely to go on a tangent. q-:
tye, in Re: What is PerlMonks? (why Perl)
A classic gem by eyepopslikeamosquito: I eagerly await the invention of a time machine so I can feast my eyes upon your majestic code. I estimate the probability of you having actually written such code is about the same as the probability of the invention of a time machine that allows us to view it.
