The real problem with trolls in an open community is that there'll
always be new people to fall in their traps. We may not pay attention
anymore, but other people will.

Here's a small recap:

- Anatoly has repeatably hostile rhetorics towards core development and
the contribution process

- he refuses to abide by some of our (rather lax, IMHO) contribution
rules (e.g. CLA)

- he continuously veers into meta-discourse (complaining about the
development process)

- he always rehashes the same obsessions

- he was warned about his behaviour and acknowledges that his
interaction is not satisfactory

- he nevertheless refuses to change his behaviour

- his behaviour has spawned several distinct threads over the time here
at python-committers, purely about him and nothing else (i.e. it's not a
hidden systemic issue)

- his behaviour has been going on for years

Regards

Antoine.
