I subscribe to Ruby Weekly as well and you guys are right on track with this Perl mailer. Makes me wish I could use Perl daily again!

Because I stood up for my ideas I’m a troll.

Because I argued with people “above” me in the social standing, I’m an outcast.

For 4 years I’ve been marginalised and ridiculed as a deviant delusional heretic, and for what? Because I wanted to do things in a different way, and I would not be told that I was wrong, BECAUSE I WASN’T.

I goaded that hacker to attack again to test a patch I made… as it turned out I was patching the wrong thing and the real attack vector was a silly mistake I made in one line of many thousands I had rushed to write to demonstrate that the people telling me my ideas could never work were talking out of their collective arses, without actually bothering to even look first to see if their claims were right.

You call me a liar… what have I lied about? aXML rocks, granted it’s been too slow for a major site until it’s current incarnation, but that problem is solved now, and I did it all by myself without any support from the so called ‘friendly’ and ‘helpful’ community.

Does it get in your craw that an ameture like me with no qualifications can build a site which not only looks better and works better, but vastly out performs your rube-goldberg monastery? If so GOOD, I hope I irritate you as much as Socrates irritated the Athenians, I hope I make you feel like murder as much as Jesus angered the Jews.

At the end of the day, you can stomp all over the internet bad mouthing me, but your just being spiteful because you picked the wrong team and your ego can’t stand it.
