In my opinion it's both wrong and unfair to compare the ban with Anatoly's ban. For one we didn't have a process and general consent for bans. It took us a while to agree on the procedure. Also Anatoly wasn't flat out hostile and insulting. He was mentally draining and exhausting on a more subtle level. I'm all in favor to ban people from python-dev or python-ideas for deliberate misuse and insults. Participation on these mailing lists is a privilege, not a right. We grant the privilege to everybody, but also reserve the right to remove the privilege. Brett, Titus, I support your decision.
