Drivel. Any establised member of this community, or any other
community for that matter, will always publish, unless, like the RUE,
they've got something to hide. So you're just a chicken. Where do
you buy the paint from for the streaks down your back? Just in case
you can't guess it is yellow. I'll state the colour just in case
your knowledge of colours is the same as your so called knowledge of
computing, something of which I'm far from persuaded, on the grounds
that speed simply is not the sole criteria for a language.
How much longer is the community going to ignore this nastiness?
These repeated vitriolic personal attacks are creating a poisonous
and hostile atmosphere that I and I'm sure many others don't want
to be exposed to when reading this group.
The community has not ignored it; several people (myself included)
have told Mark off in public for what he's been saying lately.
If I recall correctly, Mr. Lawrence was ejected from the developers
list a few years ago for the same kind of offensive behavior.
This requires that the list admins do something. Regular members like
ourselves can't ban him. However, Mark should be aware that, yes, his
actions are not in line with the CoC.

Same old story. BartC spouts drivel, just like the RUE, or Nick "The
Webmaster" Greek, I'm in trouble for pointing it out. When he provides
some *EVIDENCE* to back up his claims then I'll more than happily back
off. I do not intend holding my breath, and I do not intend backing
off. The Python community cannot let itself get into a position whereby
crap is spewed by people and they're allowed to get away with it. You
lot might also be gutless cowards like he is, I'm not, and you might
gather I'm not afraid to say so.
For example asking for benchmarks that back up his claims is exactly
like asking the RUE for evidence to support his claims regarding the
FSR, they simply never appear. Why not?
