You've behaved obnoxiously, as has been pointed out. We regard this
community highly, and when obnoxious behaviour occurs, emotive responses
are to be expected.

Thank you for acknowledge the mistake, and in advance for working to
improve.

Remember that this is a forum for discussion, for benefit of the Python
community. Not specially for the benefit of any organisation. If there's
a position relevant to be expressed here, and your organisation all
agrees on that position, there's no need for dozens of people to repeat
it — one person can say it.

But it's harmful for community participation if that person's individual
identity is shrouded behind a corporate name. It's important that any
individual's words are accountable over time to an individual's name.

If your messages are so unlike community discussion that you feel the
need to portray them as coming from a corporate entity instead of an
individual open to further discussion, please consider that such
messages are likely of little value to a community discussion forum.
