I'm glad that this was a positive experience in the end for you, but I do wish it could have been done without the rant actually appearing here. In my experience, there will likely be many people who were affected negatively by the message containing that rant and simply didn't say so, but they will enjoy this community less as a result. What I find very helpful in these cases is to put all my vitriol into the rant, bask in it, and then *delete it unsent*. That way, I'm not spreading the bad emotion any further than my desk, and it truly is cathartic so I can sleep soundly.

Thanks again for your achievements in improving Python, and best wishes in dealing with whatever life deals you. -- \ “Here is a test to see if your mission on earth is finished.
