( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

I am quite disappointed by many of my fellow monks after reading this node. One of the things that makes the Perl community (and especially the Monastery) so great is that it is very lighthearted, especially compared to the "competition", such as Microsoft products, Java, etc. I handed out many -- to the responses here because I was disgusted that something as simple as an april fools joke turned into an embarrassment to the Monastery (how the hell did this get frontpaged, anyways?).

This isn't something thats happened just at this node. I've noticed it happening more and more lately; I often see a proposal mocked and questions recieving very sarcastic responses with very little substance attached. Is that the kind of image that we want to project to new monks and the rest of the world? I certainly would not of stuck around here if my first question here had gotten such a response.

Here is an idea: if you don't have much positive & useful material to add, or simply think that a node is frivilous, how about shutting the F*** up instead of acting like an asshole? It would be much appreciated.

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.
