You know i wonder how many people saw that the link to the OP had 30,40 replies and they said...WOW it looks like the community is getting behind a project to host Python, I had better check this out! Then when they opened the link and saw all the negative responses from well known posters...either jumped on the negative bandwagon...or were too afraid to post a reply that backs a n00b supporting Python. -just food for thought-
I my self would never so viciously attack a poster for his ideas, if i were to reply at all i would simple say "i do not think this is a good idea". Plain and simple, and to the point. I never attacked anybody. I only came here to share my support to further the advancement of Python and see if anybody shared the same feelings. Only one person out of 14,405 members agrees with me. I never thought i will convince everyone, but i sure did not think ONLY one person HERE would support Python. WOW...that is all i can say...WOW You know I said before that I hoped Guido never see's this thread...but i wonder if maybe he should see it...To see how far the "great advocates" have fallen. I am disappointed to say the least. I would not want to be in his shoes and see this! Here is the definition of a troll for those whom seem not to comprehend. >From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ===================================== An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the intention of provoking other users into an emotional response [1] or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.[2] Application of the term troll is highly subjective. Some readers may characterize a post as trolling, while others may regard the same post as a legitimate contribution to the discussion, even if controversial. The term is often used to discredit an opposing position, or its proponent, by argument fallacy ad hominem. Often, calling someone a troll makes assumptions about a writer's motives. Regardless of the circumstances, controversial posts may attract a particularly strong response from those unfamiliar with the robust dialogue found in some online, rather than physical, communities. How is someone that goes to the PYTHON group to SUPPORT PYTHON a troll?? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
