Perhaps you're not a native English speaker, but running into the room and 
saying "Perl 6 doesn't have a compelling vision", "Everyone thinks Perl is 
ugly", and "Python and Ruby are doing things better than Perl 6" is *not* the 
way to start a friendly and neutral discussion, as if a sane, calm, neutral 
discussion of programming language designs and tradeoffs were possible.
