Every coin has two sides. I believe that for our community to work as expected, we should thicken our skins to criticism, AND soften our hearts to those seeking knowledge.

As mdillon will tell you, I'm a big fan of pointing out that joining a society involves some loss of personal freedom, whether that freedom be in the manner/tone with which we express ourselves, in our ability to walk where we want, in our ability to do what we want, or in our ability to enjoy what we want.

The key to living in a society is in the way in which we choose which of our freedoms to suppress. If a society requests that you give up a freedom you hold dear, perhaps you shouldn't be a member of that society. If Perl Monks asks that you give up yelling, or cursing, and you hold those freedoms dear, perhaps you should reevaluate your membership of this community.

At this point, all we ask is that you behave civilly toward your fellow monks (or nuns, as the case may be). I don't want to become the moral voice for this group (I'm woefully underqualified), so let's all police ourselves.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
