I think despite your claimed lack of English (not often noticable
in your technical posts, by the way) you have adequately conveyed
a sense of outrage.  However, nobody claims you said Tkinter sucks.

This is one of those times when, if you don't see what's funny,
it's better to walk away.  Reduce your sensitivity setting a few
notches ... I read this as good-natured joshing, not an "attack".
Perhaps a feeble attempt at humor (though I must admit I smiled),
but definitely not intended to insult or infuriate.

More briefly: Get over it.  Life's too short.  Your obvious
competence speaks for itself most of the time.
