More annoying module authors, part 2

The amusingly spelt "Szab? Bal?zs", which I believe is pronounced "Scabby Bollocks" writes, in response to my report that his module Class::Date has no tests, "Ez egy automatikusan gener?lt ?zenet, amelyet a c?mzett az?rt k?ld, hogy cs?kkentse a k?retlen levelek (SPAM) mennyis?g?t", which I believe is Eskimo for "I'm bouncing this back to you either because your address was faked by a spammer, or because you're a non-spammer who tried to contact me. Either way, I'm going out of my way to annoy you when I know you've done nothing to annoy me. Aren't I a fabulous person".

This seems reasonable given that (1) this is a stupid reason to report a "bug" and (2) the modules *does* have tests...

It's time for use.perl to switch from ISO-8859-1 to Unicode!

Why do you expect someone to listen?

Why would someone want to listen to you when you refer to others as "annoying" and "stupid" and mock someone's name as "Scabby Bollocks"?

I refer to people as annoying and stupid when they do annoying and stupid things. Anything wrong with that? No, didn't think so.

I suppose that taking the piss out of his name might have been a bit off, and I apologise to anyone who was offended. It was intended to be part of the same joke where I claimed he was talking in Eskimo and deliberately rendered all the non-ASCII characters as question marks like they appeared in his email.

And I don't particularly expect anyone to listen when I'm venting my spleen. Spleens don't generally make nice noises.

There is, but I doubt you're interested in hearing it.
