Your slide was simply:

    GERMAN
    ASSHOLES
We were not amused but didn't cry wolf as it would happen nowadays with a CoC. I would never use such terms, but perl5 leaders are very keen to throw such accusations around all the time because it conveniently distracts from the technical arguments you need to avoid. You kept with this slide for several years, but since then deleted all youtube instances.

I'm not a german btw. but my mother was born there, so I felt with them.

Actual slides: https://shadow.cat/resources/slides/matt-s-trout/2011/yapc-n... - and I did use part of these slides once more, but that's not exactly "several years".

If anybody's confused why there's a downwards arrow on one of the slides it was so I could stand underneath it to proclaim myself loud, blunt and obnoxious at the start of the 'assholes' section because this was a community hacking talk and I was identifying myself as part of the group I was about to talk about.

I don't even have access to any of the relevant bits of youtube.

This is just getting silly now :(
