A honest mistake would be a post to c.l.python saying,
"map(lambda f: f(1), [lambda x: x + 1 for i in range(3)]) returns
[2,2,2] rather than [1,2,3] like I'd expect, what's going on here?"

I really don't know which community you are trying to injure more:
Haskell or Python.

At any rate, either you are a troll and none of the involved want you
here, or you aren't and you should cease posting for a few months
so you stop looking like one.
