Wow. He can totally rant about how evil Perl is and how good Lisp is (without any data, as cjensen noted), but he can't manage to capitalize the start of his sentences. I'm supposed to take his opinion on which language is good?

Having no clue who this cat is (well... was) I had to look him up to figure out if I cared about his 14 year old rant against Perl. One thing about him that stuck with me after reading was that he did that on purpose because it was easier to type. But that doesn't really make it better.

I think you've introduced a new type of fallacy into the world.

If he had focused on writing english instead of bashing perl, you _might_ have a point.
