It was a joke.

But the invective has turned me from this project.  I wanted to learn
Python, and I wanted to get Perl programmers to learn it.  I can see
that the viciousness of assholes (not you) is the same here as elsewhere,
and I'll return now to my previous condition and residence.  Thanks
to the collective you for such an unpleasant experience.    It's not
the language.  It's the assholes.

Bye.
