Andreas Waldenburger, I hold up a mirror to your soul! A couple of years ago you started posting to the newsgroup comp.lang.java.programmer. Unlike most newbies, instead of lurking for a while and then contributing on-topic posts about Java, you jumped into the nearest available flamewar and immediately got in up to your neck. Then, on November 13, 2007, you stooped to intentionally misquoting one of your opponents. When he wrote http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.java.programmer/msg/7797d4e90afa4a20?dmode=source you quoted him thusly: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.java.programmer/msg/0386cc91ce75a3c6?dmode=source A few days later, you did it again, misquoting this post http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.java.programmer/msg/fca19d413549f499?dmode=source in this one: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.java.programmer/msg/397e1d4b23537c1b?dmode=source In both cases, you publicly portrayed this poor man as a pervert, even though, whatever his other faults, that is clearly not one of them. Since that date, you have continued to participate on and off in a flamewar with many of the same participants, including the one you so mistreated that November. In fact, it seems that the very SAME flamewar is still in progress, in another newsgroup, fourteen whole months later, and you are still in it up to your neck. Repeatedly you have claimed to be primarily motivated by finding the disrupting of newsgroups to be entertaining. This is tantamount to admitting to being a troll. If you have an excuse for your behavior, please speak now, and give your apology before the witnesses gathered here. If you do not, then know that your soul is forever tainted! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
