The first point from that talk that fits the bill extremely well is: Lack of Cooperation * WIlling to complain, but not help fix anything The second point that I found particularly applicable is: Disinfecting your community * Is this person draining attention and focus? * Is this person paralyzing the project? I say 'yes' for the first and 'no' for the second. Although his behavior is very draining I wouldn't go as far to say it is "paralyzing" (i.e. preventing significant amounts of work from being accomplished). In any case, I think David's original point is a good one. It is nice to have some documented community principles to point to. -- # Meador _______________________________________________ python-committers mailing list python-committers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-committers
