Steve,
I didn't want to be agressive at all. Although now that I read again my
post, it seems a little bit harsh...
But I see that very often in this list, some replies show much of
intolerance and very little politeness.
And in my oppinion, this is one of these cases.
I don't know what Doug Holton did to get such a lesson of posting
rules, since I think his comments were expressed in a propper way and
they were definetely python related.
This is not the first time it happens. A couple of times I suffered
myself this kind of attitudes and I chose to keep quiet for the sake of
peace, but I think it's time to point out some limits to those who act
as self-entitled moderators.
Being a moderator is ok, but not being a bouncer.
Luis,
As a disinterested observer, I would like to go on record as
disagreeing with your entire assessment of this situation. I
found Peter Hansen's response to Doug Holton quite appropriate.
I also disagree with your perception that "very often on this
list, some replies show much of intolerance and very little
politeness." I think c.l.py is one of the more civil lists
going.
