I don't think this is a cultural issue so much as an issue with a particular person. I've never really used IRC or freenode but I realised when reading about this that Andrew Lee sounded like someone I'd heard about before. Turns out I do know people who have had direct dealings with him. The message from those people is clear: avoid him like the plague. The impression I have is that his intentions are likely not malicious but his effect (on freenode or anything else) could easily be devastating in any case. -- Oscar _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/OPIAJ5F5YLMB4B3IU6UU7TVWT4FVOKQ6/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
