This entire thread has imploded like a neutron star into an infantile debate that only Caddie Couric, Bill O Reilly, and everyone on PMS-NBC can hold a candle to! The only post i enjoyed was Steve Howes!
>From my unique perspective of not really knowing (or for that matter) really caring about any of you i can say *some* of you have most undoubly shown your true colors in this thread! First of all, we all know how D Aprano has such an unfettered ego problem. I myself have been the victom of his insults but simultaniously also found them quite enjoyable (at times) I'd classify Steven d'Aprano as a "well informed" arsehole with an inner clown trying to escape. Then there is "alex23". The only sockpuppet (of many suspects within this group) that i can 100 percent prove and of whom i knew sooner or later would come along for his chance at trolling. Just look at his GG cache and you will see 99% of his post are argmentitve, abusive trolls! He's a fish that waits for threads like these just so he can flop around! As for Alf, no he is not *tecnically* right about the definition of "ad homine" but that *really* doesn't matter. He has (time and time again) been personally attacked by some of the more "supposedly respected" people in this group. And as always the roaches start coming out of the woodwork in a most "pathetic puppy dog" way. What would you puppets do if there were no one to pull your strings? But the most nortoriuos behavior of all belongs to none other that the PSF chairman himself! Yes "Steve Holden", you should be ashamed of yourself! Your attacks have been more amd more destructive over the past year or so. Even if your behavoir could "somehow" be justified how can someone in your position lead the PSF and act as such an infintile way? I am very ashamed of you Steve and you really owe Alf (and the community at large) an apology although i doubt it will happen because then your own people will turn against you. I have documented the bad behavours of certain "pythonistas" on this group for some time now. And my original assumtions that only a handful of people really follow this group. Maybe one day we will have a fair playing feild for all but sadly it looks to be more like a pipe dream! Sleep well kids! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
