I believe this community has a cancer. A cancer that is rotting us from the inside. A cancer that has metastasis and is spreading like wild fire.

*Inquisitive Joe asked:* What is the source of this cancer Rick? The source is a direct result of insufficient leadership. Our current leader has failed us. Maybe he never wanted to be a leader, but when you go and declare yourself a "benevolent dictator for life" you'd damn well better act like one!
He never declared himself "benevolent dictator for life", others declared him so.
Why has GvR not admonished the atrocious behavior of some people in this community? Why has GvR not admitted publicly the hideous state of IDLE and Tkinter? Where is the rally call? Where is the community spirit? The future of Pythin is in your hands Mr. Van Rossum. Will you step up and do what needs to be done? Will you have the courage? i sincerely hope so. If not, please step down and allow someone to lead. I await the supreme commanders ascent to power.
GvR isn't our leader, we are his followers. There's a difference. :-) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
