Perhaps this quote will help you understand Randal's response.
"In Germany they came first for the Communists, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist. Then they came for Catholics, and I didn’t speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up."
Protestant minister Martin Neimoller, reflecting on Germany’s fall to the Nazis

YES! The Nazi Reference! YAY! We've now proven one of the rules of a flame war, please continue!
Talking about PERL, folks.
Everyone, please take a very deep breath, and try to assume that other people are just as lovely people as you are, and aren't trying very, very hard to offend you.
HUMOR, it's great. Poking gentle fun at Mighty Figures and Saints -- it's good for you.
