I remember when Casey West and Kevin Meltzer started this list. Casey
was very specific on-line and in person about it being a place where
newcomers could ask questions without being flamed. The FAQ bears this
out:

this one at least had a good run and I'll be sorry if I end up leaving it too.
It's a shame when people leave a community because they feel it has
taken on a negative tone.
The first question that comes to mind is "what is the process for
dealing with negative behavior on this mailing list?".
Looking at:
http://learn.perl.org/faq/beginners.html
I see:
1.8 - Who owns this list? Who do I complain to?
Casey West owns the beginners list. You can contact him at
ca...@geeknest.com.
...
1.10 - Who will maintain peace and flow on the list?
Casey West, Kevin Meltzer and Ask Bjoern Hansen currently carry
large, yet padded, clue-sticks to maintain peace and order on the list.
If you are privately emailed by one of these folks for flaming, being
off-topic, etc... please listen to what they say. If you see a message
sent to the list by one of these people saying that a thread is closed,
do not continue to post to the list on that thread! If you do, you will
not only meet face to face with a XQJ-37 nuclear powered pansexual
roto-plooker, but you may also be taken off of the list. These people
simply want to make sure the list stays topical, and above-all, useful
to Perl beginners.
And, I also see:
1.11 - When was this FAQ last updated?
November 20, 2001
So, my next question is "has the complaint resolution process broken down?".
