I've flagged this as well, for your argumentative style, specifically that you write:

>despite multiple opportunities while being both called "troll" and down voted over that

This style of discussion is not normal here. Nobody but you has called me a troll, because that goes against our community guidelines. Please read the guidelines.

Until then you will not receive more replies from me. If you pay a bit of attention you will note that this community is much more civil than you may be used to from elsewhere.

("But why??" - I hope if you give it some thought you can appreciate the broader context that there is insight to be gained from discussion, as shown by congresses of minds from Athens to the Royal Society, from the Continental Congress to the National Academy of Sciences, all of which have shown that amazing things can be borne of civil discourse.

Whether you think you have anything to gain from anyone else's opinion is up to you to decide. Engaging in name-calling, cheap argumentative tricks (as repeated here), and willful misinterpreting is not up to you.

Please read the guidelines and contribute or ask honest questions, rather than attack. You are very welcome to express a differing opinion, of course, as long as it is done in civil terms.)

Sigh, I'll just note that you missed yet another opportunity to explain your strange statements that some of Perl 5's older and stronger features are not Perly.

(You even quoted part of my comment where I discussed that.)

But it is informative with indignation, while repeatedly refusing to discuss criticism.

On consideration, this was interesting.

You are called troll because of stupid statements on basic points.

You refuse to talk about WHY you are stamped a troll in multiple comments -- instead you complain in big blocks of text about impoliteness!

This is a common troll strategy, but does it really work?

Do a causal reader miss that you refuse to talk about why you are called troll -- and just see two people complaining about each others?

Edit: So your smoke screen of complaints will change my behavior. :-) The next troll with your strategy will just get a note that he refuses to touch why he is called troll + link.

I did talk about why you (and only you, a user with 239 karma, less than a quarter of mine) called me a troll - it's because you don't understand our guidelines and civil discourse. This style of discourse is frowned upon by this community and YC employs a full-time moderator (dang) just to make sure nobody like you is doing this where anyone is reading. He and others are doing a really good job, and you won't see a single comment like yours in any thread. If you have any questions about the comments I actually made you can write politely to yc tech mgr @ gmail.com

I am just going to note that in five comments you carefully avoid discussing how I motivate that you are a bad troll: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7809359

Trying to avoid that is admitting I am correct.

(See my declaration on how to handle trolls in GP.)

I did carefully address your statement. Follow up by email if you have any real questions.

The fourth time I write this, THEN you claim to have answered!

Strange that you forgot to link, troll...
