That's a gross exaggeration.

Over the last few days you have gotten slammed because you mildly broke 
etiquette and then, instead of accepting the minor criticism and moving 
on, you got into an argument about it, and made what seemed like a 
racially motivated joke. Even if it were completely innocent, it didn't 
*seem* innocent.

And then you make rude comments about people, sexist comments about there 
being "ladies present" (my wife can turn the air blue, and sometimes she 
embarrasses me), and you recently accused others of being sock-puppets 
without a shred of evidence.

Dwight, or David if you prefer, sometimes you make useful comments and 
you can be a welcome, useful member of the Python community, but other 
times you display an incoherent, rambling, aggressive style that 
indicates that you are posting while high or drunk.

For your own sake, I suggest you stay off the Internet (including email 
and usenet) unless sober.
