Arthur, you are provoking other people with your disgusting statements 
all the time.  In my opinion you are an embarrassment for the otherwise 
in general very friendly and polite Python community.

I think Guido is very open for other opinions.  Write a PEP and make 
your point clear.  Then things can be discussed and enhanced on a common 
ground.  But you always talk importantly about things you don't really 
understand very deeply.  I fact, you can not even write an example of 
your thoughts using Python.

You are just poisoning the whole atmosphere.

bla, bla.  I wonder who agrees with you on that point.

Personally I get too upset reading your postings so I just added a 
filter to my email reader which deletes all emailes stemming from your 
address.
