I am clearly one of the troglodytes referred to in recent discussions around the PSF. I've been around in python land for far too long, my eyesight fails etc etc.
I feel strongly that a miscarriage of justice has been made in the 3-month banning of a famous python developer from some areas of discourse.
I have had my share of disagreements with others in the past and have been sometimes violent or disrespectful in emails. I might have been in the kill list of some, but never banned from any mailing lists. Honest dialogue is much better than imposed silence. -- grumblingly-yrs -- Robin Becker -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
