Dear Ron Adam and other good people, I respect people and I respect truth. And, the priority is truth first. The software community, is one fucked up ball, and in part, because people respect not people nor truth. They respect their own asses, euphorimically known as politics and power game, and exhibited and understood as respecting other people. the above, as you've seen, can be seen in the behaviors and inactions in this python group as judged by its posts on the Python doc issue i raised. (of course there are also posts by good hearted and educated people) The documentations in computing industry and The Python doc in particular, is one gravely fucking incompetent ball. And, execuse me that most people do not understand this, but it is because people respects their own asses more than other people or truth as i outlined above. The fucked up writings and thinkings in the computing industry is in part what causes the sorry situation of today's software. I, am taking my time as time permits to explain this situation little by little to the computing public, message by message. As to my criticism and rewrite of Python doc in particular, the Python community can take it or leave it. If they take it, or if i instigated any change, they shall give proper credit where credit is due. ----- To the generic Python community: go re-read my posts, and this time pay attention: http://xahlee.org/Periodic_dosage_dir/t2/xlali_skami_cukta.html http://xahlee.org/perl-python/re-write_notes.html These writings and my involvement with Python will probably only increase. It is beneficial for you, either personally or as part of the Python collective, to behave properly.

Hello Xah, I think you will continue to have difficulty getting respect on this matter as long as you show disrespect to those who have come before you. When you refer to the documentation as being f'ing stupid, and other disrespectful terms, you are in an indirect, or depending on your intent, directly insulting the people who have done their best, as *volunteers* in most cases, to provide the existing documentation. Text is never F'ing, Stupid, or any of the other terms you refer to as it being. ÂHowever it can be uninformative, hard to read, confusing, and even plain wrong. ÂBut it is only text, and does not have a mind of it's own. ÂReferring to it as if it does, in such angry tones, reflects back on yourself and gives others a poor impression of you. At the start, you choose to approach this matter as a personal and competitive agenda, ie.. You vs those who came before you. ÂIs this really the correct way to do this? ÂYou don't have to insult those who came before you in order to make your case. ÂIf you do, then maybe your case isn't strong enough. ÂBut even this is wrong because it isn't a competition. I suppose that if you respectfully offer something even a little better it would be respectfully accepted, after due review of course. ÂYou will probably even get many helpful suggestions along they way because you will have created a situation where every one wins. But by approaching it in the way you are, you make it very hard for people to support you, because to do so, they have to take on the role of losers in order for you to be a winner. Just some thoughts, you might consider. Cheers, and good luck with whatever aproach you decide. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
