They tend to overly advertise their framework on #python.

They do not "pretend to be the Python community". They're a part of the
Python community that's grossly overrepresented on the #python channel.
That's all.

We usually are helpful on #python. Unless somebody is trolling or a
otherwise waste of time.

As I said, they overly advertise Twisted. The reason is they're quite
enthusiastic about it. I personally like Twisted, too. If only I could
find an application that would lend itself to the asynchronous model ;-)

It's an IRC relay bot. Written in Twisted btw.

Quite the contrary btw. #python is a great and friendly channel and I'm
sure you fellows here would enjoy hanging out there.

Ok. Why don't you go somewhere else? Where do you want to troll today?
Oh yes, I see: comp.lang.python.
