Nope, I'm one of the regular citizens here that tried to make you 
realize you were acting as an arrogant clueless newbie.

For the record, the guy you treaded as he was a retarted knows much more 
than you about both Python and DbC. Thinking that someone is "ignorant" 
or "ridiculous" because he does not happen to share your opinions on 
some subject is certainly not what's I'd call an intelligent, civilized, 
  respectful attitude.

All you did was persisting on being arrogant while showing your lack of 
knowledge on both Python and DbC.

I'm not upset. I'm actually trying to help you realizing the dumbness of 
your attitude. But I'm afraid this is going to be a lost cause...
