Mark, I consider your continual direct personal attacks on other posters
to be a violation of the PSF Code of Conduct, which *does* apply to
python-list. Please stop.
The attacks that "Joseph McCarthy" has been launching on the core developers
for the last 15 months are in my view now
perfectly acceptable. This is excellent news. Everybody can now say what they
like about the core developers and
there's no comeback.
You can also stuff the code of conduct, it's quite clearly only brought into
play when it suits. Never, ever aim it at
somebody who goes out of their way to stir things up, always target it at the
people who fight back *IS THE RULE HERE*.
Mark, I sympathize with your feelings. jmf is certainly a troll, and it doesn't feel like anything has been, or is
being, done about that situation (or for that matter, the help vampire situation... although I haven't seen any threads
from that one lately -- did he give up, or has he been moderated away?). However, I would suggest that when you are
venting, you write the email and then just delete it. I personally don't mind the light and humorous posts, but when
the name-calling starts it makes the list an unfriendly place to be. And, to be clear, the coddling of trolls and
help-vampires also makes the list an unfriendly place to be.
Terry, would it be appropriate to share some of what the moderators do do for us on this list and the others? And what
does the Code of Conduct have to say about trolls and help-vampires?
