I honestly could not care less what you think about me, but don't use
that term. This isn't a boys' club and we don't need your hurt ego
driving people away from here.

[...usual nonsense]
someone had the audacity to protect his stance. I am sure that people
have seen enough of his behaviour in the last few hours to see the real
Dwight Hutto so I'll leave it at that.

Now if only people would stop feeding the troll, those of us who have
already *plonked* him can stop seeing his ramblings in the responses.

You can "Plonk" my dick bitches.

You do understand that when you have so many people react badly to how
you phrase things, that the problem most likely lies with you and not
them? That the only person who actually reacts favourably to this
garbage coming from you is *you*?

There is no place for racist or sexist speech here. Reply personally
to whomever you want with whatever invective you choose, that's your
right (just as it is their right to flag your emails as spam, as I
have). But this is a place for public discussion and, again, we do not
need you driving away people who might actually contribute positively
simply because you're unable or unwilling to always do so.

Dwight, have a read of these documents. They may help you to
understand how the python-list community operates, and perhaps more
so, why most of the regulars here think the way they do. Actually,
this may be of interest to quite a few people, so I'll post it
on-list.

Don't hack, but could very well if necessary.

You couldn't hack your self out of a wet paper bag, and you're fooling noone. Sorry... buddy. You should go away now; You asked who is laughing at you the other day, and at that point you had the ability to salvage (or at least attempt to salvage) your reputation with a few people. You've pretty much blown that away at this point, so a belated answer to your question is everyone.

Yeah I could.


Sorry... buddy. You should go away now;

So you can dominate with a lame ass attempt to approach my responses
with a manipulative tactic to discredit me, including such hits as
racism, and sexism?

you the other day, and at that point you had the ability to salvage (or at

Nobody, they're laughing at your failed attempt to discredit me in a
on thread response in which I was a respondent.

Please don't disguise your foolishnish with lies.

You mean I went to sleep, woke up and responded? Nice attempt, but you
can set a random seed of mine up your ass.

He that will not reason is a bigot; he that cannot reason is a fool; hethat
dares not reason is a slave.

Some facts that are well-known enough but somehow seem relevant to
this discussion.
Technology is called a great enabler -- A little less gushingly its a
great multiplier.
When we look a little impartially at it we see that as technology
increases in scope/power the corresponding human involvement gets more
and more passive.

Coming to the specific technology-stack -- mailing-lists atop the
internet -- we see the following:
When I hit the send button Ive no idea who will read what I send.
Likewise what I end up reading may not be something I specifically
wish to read.

Specifically, Ive no idea what is the size of the python-list
readership -- surely in hundreds, more likely thousands.

So when I feel like making a response to one or two people which has
more heat than (python-related) light, it would help to consider the
thousand(s) who will read it who are not involved/interested in the
fracas.

A more physical analogy: Lets say I am driving along happily on the
freeway and someone does something to me that generates severe
justifiable road-rage. So I stop the car, get down and do my schtick
-- shout, shoot, mow-him-down, whatever -- and in the process create a
jam of a hundred vehicles all around. However justifiable my rage, I
would be lucky to get anyone's support!

A more personal point. I find that anger is usually a thin cover for
depression. And depression inversely correlates with amount of
sunshine I see. So before hitting the send button, it may be a good
idea to sleep over and see if the rising sun changes my mood.

Coming to threads like this one:
We've seen an old member of this list scolded for stretching the
drinking jokes a bit too far.
And another old member who posted a youtube link which had nothing to
do with python even though the subject said 'OT'

So… Staying withing python-related discussions and using courteous
language is the general rule for all. If you follow that you should be
ok

Technology is called a great enabler -- A little less gushingly its a
great multiplier.
When we look a little impartially at it we see that as technology
increases in scope/power the corresponding human involvement gets more
and more passive.

But technology should be engaged by many different view points, in
order to insure that the output of technology is within the, not only
the grasp of outsiders, but the scope of those who wish to debate it's
usage in many different areas in order to have stability of the
society(societies) that produce the output.
Coming to the specific technology-stack -- mailing-lists atop the
internet -- we see the following:
When I hit the send button Ive no idea who will read what I send.
Likewise what I end up reading may not be something I specifically
wish to read.

That's common on mailing lists, and the discussions they maintain, as
well as the usage membership.


Specifically, Ive no idea what is the size of the python-list
readership -- surely in hundreds, more likely thousands.

Then it's part of, but the only side of, your public persona.
So when I feel like making a response to one or two people which has
more heat than (python-related) light, it would help to consider the
thousand(s) who will read it who are not involved/interested in the

Don't be a little bitch, and respond. Instead you're whining about it.

A more physical analogy: Lets say I am driving along happily on the
freeway and someone does something to me that generates severe
justifiable road-rage. So I stop the car, get down and do my schtick
-- shout, shoot, mow-him-down, whatever -- and in the process create a
jam of a hundred vehicles all around. However justifiable my rage, I
would be lucky to get anyone's support!

It's called information overload, and temporary insanity...go ask a lawyer list.

A more personal point. I find that anger is usually a thin cover for
depression.

A medical condition which can be cause by many different factors, and all legal.

And depression inversely correlates with amount of
sunshine I see.

This is more seasonal depression, and human biological adjustment to
circadian rhythm in nature that appears in several areas.

So before hitting the send button, it may be a good
idea to sleep over and see if the rising sun changes my mood.

It always does, it's biological in nature for this to happen.
Coming to threads like this one:
We've seen an old member of this list scolded for stretching the
drinking jokes a bit too far.

Probably me, and you have no idea what I'm not saying when if not
drinking I have severe nerve damage...that would probably blow your
own little itty bitty mind, so deal with average intelligence on your
own.
And another old member who posted a youtube link which had nothing to
do with python even though the subject said 'OT'

So… Staying withing python-related discussions and using courteous
language is the general rule for all. If you follow that you should be

Open mindedness is what the internet is about, if you can't be free
with emotions and internal vectors of molecular thought freedom, then
you might want ot move out of the way of the New World Order.
