Which is obviously not the same as "Boo should not be mentioned on this newsgroup".
I used the exact same phrase in another note except using the term "logo" instead of "boo", and that is the exact interpretation I immediately received from others - they felt I was censuring the discussion here, as I felt you were.
Maybe they felt that way because, in your case, it was followed by the innocent little sentence "Please refrain from discussing topics not related to CPython."?

I'm not going to dignify that or the rest of your note with a response.
No, by all means, let's ignore any pieces of a post that might lead to constructive discussion.
Well, it's been fun, but I really don't have time for this. If we cannot end this thread with some kind of mutual understanding, then I will end it unilaterally. You have the dubious honor of being the first person in my killfile since 1997.
