Between your ad hominem attacks, FUD, wild assumptions, and veiled insults you did manage to get ONE small sentence of truthful content to propagate up; congratulations! Excuse me whist i toss my cookies! > But dealing with him is like wrestling with a pig: And there it is again. We can't admit Rick is correct without insulting him. But Steven, when have you EVER dealt with me on a professional level? When have you EVER offered a helping hand to one of my issues? For example: I can remember asking you to explain the new .format method of Py3000 and you said: "Sorry, too busy!". But you where not too busy to troll-up the list! WHEN have you ever admitted (without insulting me first) that i am in fact an asset to this community? Do you think this community will ever be a homogeneous block? And if so, would that be a good thing? I have an idea: How about YOU stop clinging to some archaic ideal of what YOU *think* this community *should* be, and instead, start opening up your mind to diverse personalities and diverse ideas. Heck, maybe you'll learn something new, "old dog". Remember how much you ranted about diversity in evolution? And now you have the AUDACITY to preach the opposite just to suit your own selfish argument. You are as hollow as a politician Steven. Nothing that you say can be taken seriously because it is just more propaganda and lies. And one more thing, If ANYONE on this list deserves "thespian of the year" award, it is you my friend! Between your comeo appearances as "Devils Advocate", "Sammy the Strawman Stuffer", "Snarky Detractor", and the ever-present "Troll Slayer" (saving damsels in distress from the trolls of c.l.p) -- i'd say you have the nomination won by a landslide! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
