And yet his being told to go fuck himself downthread was left uncommented upon.


You don't really think you're facing anti-perl-6 moderation bias, do you? I assure you I'm just bereft of my laptop and stuck in an airplane with a very small phone.

Edit: ok, I've now found that comment (which you're right was worse) and banned the offending account.


Lolno. Just pointing out that that post is likely what got him riled up and thereby resulting in his mistake. I've moderated lots of stuff for years, my baseline expectation is always "moderator mistake" rather than "bias". Just the mote/beam level of this particular case seemed sufficient to be worth commenting on.

Then once I'd posted that, I downvoted zoffix myself for being unconstructive and went and tracked him down on IRC (we've known each other for years) and pointed out that even if you're right, accusing somebody of being intentionally obstructive is pretty much never constructive.
