Right, so we're in the ridiculous situation where there are stricter standards in what can be posted to this ML than who can be US president. On Wed, 7 Dec 2016, 14:30 Hansel Dunlop, wrote: > It could certainly be violated by embodying his behaviour ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ > > h >

I think we submitted Guido for consideration, but did so using a byte string rather than Unicode, so the submission got rejected ;) On Wed, 7 Dec 2016 at 15:05, Jon Ribbens wrote: > On Wed, Dec 07, 2016 at 02:15:27PM +, Daniel Pope wrote: > >Idle thought:

Re: [python-uk] Announcing the Yorkshire Inquisition

It would actually be quite a good Mailman feature to be able to put a user "on watch" for N days, and prepend a first line to their messages henceforth saying "The Inquisition is watching this user. They need to mind their manners". The 10 minute sin-bin works better in sports than red cards.
