I'm sorry your initial impression is so negative.  This Usenet
news group, comp.lang.python, is the most civil and helpful
news group I've followed in my long career of Usenet reading.
Losing that would be sad.

Perhaps the appearance of the group changes according to one's method
of access.  I read comp.lang.python using the slrn news-reading tool,
which allows me to skip an entire thread with a single keystroke.  Maybe
that's what has kept me from noticing so many unpleasant posts.
