I though you were treated quite fairly all things considered.   (You 
started the personal attacks, the whining about the group, the 
accusations of arrogance, and the refusal to believe we all *knew* the 
error was in your file name calculation and not in Python threads.)

This group is widely acknowledged as one of the more friendly groups 
around,  and in fact we keep it that way by coming down rather hard on 
those who abuse either the members of the group or the purpose of the 
group.  And you've done both and been reprimanded for it.   Now, either 
go away, or change your attitude and join the group. (You would be 
welcome if the attitude changed.)  Either way, this group will be it's 
usual friendly self.
