Okay, followups to this belong in -meta (alas Eudora doesn't let you set
reply-to's, or I would), so if everyone would, please?

Okay Dave (and *everyone* else) let me be *real* blunt. If you can't
converse in a rational and courteous way, then *DON'T*. Maintaining a
courteous and rational community is everyone's responsibility.
*Everyone's*. You want the perl 6 development community to be pleasant?
Then *be* *pleasant*. And privately deal with the people who aren't.
There is *no one* in this community so important that they can behave
badly. Nobody. Not you. Not me. Not even Larry. (You'll notice, though,
that the people who have what pass for official titles in the p6 world all
generally act like adults in public. I even manage most of the time)
Damn it, people, we are all adults, or can at least fake it in public.
And Dave? Do please keep your issues with perl 5 and ActiveState elsewhere.
This isn't p5p. We don't even have software for you to have issues with yet.
