I realize this is not really what your message was about and for sake
of brevity you used a bit of a hyperbole, but like Thomas I would
still like to nip in right there. #python is a pretty big channel. I
think everyone understands that reducing it in its entirety to a
single opinion as inflammatory as "you're all idiots" is at best
oversimplifying and at worst offensive.

Of course, and I was not intending to offend here. It was more of a running commentary on the unintended influx of Arch Linux users to the channel and some of the responses posted to them (some of which I found rather amusing when forwarded to me - especially the early response as people were figuring out what was going on).

I also agree with the "NO ARCH" topic at the moment. I was fairly surprised so many people went to #python for help given we had made news posts and had a topic in our IRC channel pointing to how to start fixing issues.
