Compare this node that got reaped to the first reply in this thread. The first reply here is much more deserving of getting reaped, but it should really be deleted. And compare Abigail's insulting posts to mine, not just the language, but what they're directed towards.

The complaints of others in this thread about troll replies not being reaped are good, but I seem to be referred to as a troll in the same posts. Let's review some of the history of my "trolls" vs. other's trolls and see if we could see a difference.

I posted an idea about changing abs to || in Perl::Improved Volume 0, Number 1. Aristotle viciously attacked it in his desperate attempt to draw attention away from his ignoring the guidelines for considering/reaping nodes. sporty even called me an idiot for that idea. I believe I explained myself sufficiently in response, explaining more than once how parentheses were a reasonable solution to the points some people raised. I got downvoted, and I'd be willing to bet that Sporty and Aristotle weren't. Were they?

I thought diotalevi was purposely making people ignore me with his home node button. I suggested he be punished. In return, people downvote me. Again, compare my post to the attacks of others against me, which Aristotle himself considered for reaping. Those attacks got upvoted.

• 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.
