This is really sad.  No matter how good a company may be, there will be
those who criticize.  So what? People are allowed to have opinions and
should be allowed to voice them - though blatant slander is wrong no
matter what.  But I don't think that was the issue here.

It is sad to see that those of us who are trying to promote Perl are
being censored by a company that I thought we looked up to...
