The offending post was not random abuse. It was a fine spin on the
existing cliche of Pythonistas being narrow minded and arrogant
(personally, I have not experienced this, btw). I found it quite funny.
I'm sorry, that you don't have the right sense of humour to see this.
But, and this is the main point, I very very much object to censuring
(alleged) humour just because it may be offensive to someone.
