Well, I'm certainly not about to do the comparison myself.  I only
have so much time, and presently I am not sufficiently motivated about
this topic to invest any time in it.  A suggestion:  *you* brought up
the subject, so if you want us to pay attention to your claims, then
*you* had better be prepared to get your hands dirty and do the actual
work to support it.

Oh wow. You really do sound like Ranting Rick. Always wanting someone
else to do the work and carry the burden of proof.

Since you don't use Python, don't like Python, and don't promote Python,
why are you here on this list?  Are you evangelizing Perl?

Apologies to the list; I hope I'm done.

Indeed, as Joshua says, instead of going through all the effort to talk 
about it, why don't you show us that Python is slower in regexs than perl.
That's at least relevant bandwdith.

Next, if Python is slower, there might be ways to improve the performance.

Last, if there is a SPU (Secret Python Underground), I want to j

Your opinion of "animuson" is off-topic for this list.

StackOverflow is explicitly for technical questions with technical 
answers. I believe opinions, languages comparisions, and flamebaits in 
general are explicitly banned and subject to removal and possible 
banning. So are subterfuges like phrasing banned topics as questions.

Given your behavior here, I am 90+% sure animuson's action was appropriate.

The OP meant to post:

A moderator who calls himself MatsDtroll on Stack Overflow doesn’t want to
face the truth. He has deleted all my postings regarding Perl regular
expression matching being extremely slow compared to Bash regex.
Additionally my account has been suspended for 7 days. Such a dickwad.
