Many communities extend a sort of "provisional membership" to new arrivals, and grant newcomers the same respect and courtesy that established members recieve. I make this distinction to point out that you are not a member of the Python community simply because you posted in a community newsgroup, but a newcomer with provisional status. I don't speak for the Python community, but from the consistent nature of the responses to your posts, it looks like your provisional membership has been revoked. Secondly, when two parties disagree about matters of etiquette, the party that is new to the community is almost certainly the one who has erred. I think you could undo the damage you have done by spending some time here, and learning that this is a community of intelligent, friendly, humorous, and insightful people. Come with suggestions, and not demands. Show us how you would like a community to behave, instead of acting like we owe you something. That's how we make the world a better place.
