While your style of writing may indeed be excessively formal or flowery, as exemplified by the above, I think you deserve just as much apology from those members of the list who have chosen to respond in such an insulting manner. Yes, you would do well to write more concisely, but you don't warrant the lambasting you have received.
Indeed. Xiong sounds like you'd be suited to the refuge that is Bristol & Bath Perl Mongers. We are the friendliest Perl community I know of, that's our whole aim :)

This is not just Software. It is social, living, fun. Just how much humour and sensibility have you shown here, Nadim? You're not sounding particularly social or fun.
This reminds me of attitudes I came across on another list... (cough, cough) I wont say which. Why not copy their lead, and follow on with some blog posts blindly mediating w**hy more people don't get involved and stay in the Perl community, lol.
