Because there's no particular reason for it to be in a Python-specific forum. The value of a Python-specific forum is directly reduced by the amount of off-topic noise that occurs in it. The hostility is because we need to kick the camel's nose of “just one clearly off-topic discussion” out of the tent to avoid the whole camel coming in. -- \ “I fly Air Bizarre.
