Look, the folks are c.l.py are far too touchy and they really need to lighten up. Really! The fact that my speech style and delivery does not fit some "cookie cutter" pre-directive is just BS. The Python community is NOT a homogeneous block you know, and it should not be! People have said to me in the past..."""Well you could participate at python-dev or python-ideas or the tracker but NOT as ranting rick, you need to use a better name"""... What? What does it matter what my name is anyway. This is just being pedantic!! > Sorry for the truncation.

I am not "tearing down" anything, however that was a nice try Geremy *wink*. The only thing that is being "torn down" is the solid wall of rabid resistance that has been slowly built by this community over many years. We have become too centralized and many folks are being left out of the community decision process. You (and others) act like my only concern is to destroy what has been built (Tkinter) and that is not the case! But like old governments, YOU (the python elite!) have lost all vision for the future. And you've also lost all connection with the people. I am desperately trying to to snap you out of this psychosis before it is too late! Tkinter will be the downfall of Python if we cannot muster the resolve to replace it with something that is current (or more current) technology. Stop fearing change and re-ignite the vision that GvR once had. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
