It's pretty clear that he's not a net value to Python development. But
perhaps his attempts at contributing (no matter how clumsy) have value for
him? I imagine it must be pretty lonely being the only geek with deep
Python knowledge and interest in Minsk. I realize he's making it hard to be
compassionate. But I still think what sets him apart from the typical troll
is that he doesn't do it because he likes disagreement. He just lacks
social skills (English not being his first language may contribute here).
And yes, he doesn't seem to be learning from the feedback he gets.
