I haven't written anything unproductive or offensive. I offered constructive criticism with a detailed plan on how to fix the problem. The forum owners chose to ban me because they don't like hearing that the code they've written is bad. And that's the long and the short of it. This has been a pattern in behavior of PyPA members I've interacted with so far. And whenever they had a chance, they'd use it to pretend that the problems I'm talking about don't exist by deleting every mention of the problem. That is an example of unproductive and offensive behavior because it produces nothing and wastes my time I've dedicated to locating, reporting and solving their problem. > Go play in your own sandbox somewhere, You are being repeatedly rude, without provocation, and yet you keep blaming me for what you are doing. I guess you have to be a moderator in this forum because you act as if this is a kind of behavior will be without any repercussions for you. You probably don't understand it, but this sandbox is as much yours as it is mine. You can "become" an authority and, eg. block me -- but that would be an overreach. Physically possible but morally wrong. I don't need to prove you wrong by being better than you. Nobody does. Being right or wrong isn't about being better at something. Not only that, I legally (and physically) cannot establish my own Python Software Foundation and claim a right to Python intellectual property, establish a governing body for Python etc. These forums are how PSF is supposed to implement its advertised policies. I cannot just take over them... that'd be illegal even if I somehow managed to physically pull it off. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
