Because there's no purity test for membership here. You can dislike Python, and still participate. Bart is not unwelcome.

It took us a while to understand where Bart was coming from, but now we understand, and we don't have to go around in circles. > My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask > what you can do for our language.
