Is it just me, or is Sqlite3 goofy?

Slander? Richard wrote a free and open source relational database the
way he wanted to, in a way that seems useful to him, and apparently
thousands of other people. You are free to write your own open source
relational database as well which has its own deviations from the
standard. I say this because I'd love to see you write the worlds
first SQL compliant database, and do it in under 30,000 lines of C,
and make it portable across both operating systems and byte orders,
capable of being run on cell phones and low power environments.

The only slander I see are in your ill-informed posts on this mailing
lists which should really be directed to the SQLite list. Apparently,
you are too afraid to insult the SQLite community to its face, and
seek refuge on the Python list.

Yes, namely calling respectable people (who selflessly write free and
open source software in their spare time) crackpots. Also, not lifting
a finger to seek help or effect change, but taking every effort to
insult. And finally, there is entertaining the notion that people live
to serve your needs. Yes, there are things that are clearly more rude.
