I believe it is cluelessness mixed with an idiosyncratic nacissistic
obstinacy that seems to block him from learning. I no longer take
anything he says personally.
than I care about his feelings. He has the entire internet to play on,
we don't have to allow him access to python.org controlled resources.
I personally see his signal-noise ratio as about 1/2, but can understand
if others put it lower (though still above 0/infinity).
The issue Christian mentions below was at most 1/10. On the other hand,
another recent issue was close to 1/1 and lead to a doc patch.
He is so far beyond the point of political correctness and
respectability that I'm unable to find any words for his behavior in my
dictionary. His attitude hasn't improved, too. For example in bug
http://bugs.python.org/issue16689 he used an offensive title and
re-opened the ticket *twice* although it was closed by two different and
highly respectable core devs.
I hate to kick out people but I see no other way to deal with the issue
anymore. :(
The third close message said clearly 'Do not reopen again.'. If he
ignores that, then I think his tracker access should be suspended for at
least a month. (IE, I think that message constituted 'warning'.)
