Most people don't say anything, they just drop Perl and move on to more helpful and welcoming communities (with consequently brighter futures), which is really is sad... the only reason I said anything is because I consider myself a Perler, so the comments are totally inclusive of myself... unless you just don't want to include me.

Categorizing my behaviour as "trolling" is actually meant to offend and shame. "dysfunctional", as in "dysfunctional family", "dysfunctional organization", "dysfunctional relationship", is a way of saying, "we need to work on this"...

You don't have to work on it, you don't have to respond to anything I say, and you could have just left the github issue alone (@kraih would have locked it down either way). Maybe you are more aware of the problem than you let on, given your reaction over the last few hours.

I guess you'd feel better if I dropped it and I'm about to head out on vacation, too, after taking a couple hours out of my work schedule to address this (I'm working on a company project and really, really wanted to incorporate Mojo::Pg with a simple Mojolicious::Lite interface). If we never have a chance to dialogue again, I hope that at least some of this comes back to mind in your continued participation in this community, especially as you observe the behaviour of other, more powerful members, and what they do with that power.
