From: "Brandon J. Van Every" Date: 2003-08-21T00:08:57+09:00 Subject: At least one nasty person in your community Ok, I was going to say that although you're not as wonderfully welcoming as you think, you're much better than the comp.lang.python community. That was before one of your community chose to privately flame me with profanities, statements that I had no honor, that I bring a cancer, get off the "mailing list," etc. To my US ear, he sounded foreign. I said he should study up on the First Amendment if he wanted to understand US concepts of "honor." This person's action is far, far worse than what even my worst detractor in comp.lang.python has said of me. Unless he's an isolated crank, your community has a serious attitude problem about what passes for acceptable discourse and intellectual integrity. -- Cheers, www.3DProgrammer.com Brandon Van Every Seattle, WA "Troll" - (n.)
