I'm sorry everyone.
Alex, you of all people have done nothing to apologize for.
You wanted to find a way to make Perl more widely accepted.
Had the conversation been allowed to takes its natural
course, it might have petered out quickly or it might
have come up with a novel idea. But instead, you got
sucked into defending yourself. Had the conversation
stayed on topic and not gone into political science,
world history, and end-of-the-perl-world scenarios,
the whole discussion would have been no big deal.
I jumped in mainly because no one would let you even
think about having a conversation about certification.
And I eventually blew my stack on the list, and I
apologize for the cursing and name calling that I put on
the list.
But you shouldn't apologize for a legitimate question
just because of how people reacted to it.
I'm still interested in helping to communicate Perl to the world, but I
think all these discussions should move off the list, at least for now.
Yeah, I think it's been beaten to the point
where anyone who may have wanted to brainstorm
is too exhausted to care right now. I know I am.
