This means that someone can behave like a jerk on this list, later tries to spin his behaviour as some innocent exchange of ideas and make it near impossible for others to make it clear what bullshit he is peddling because stating clearly how much like a jerk he
behaved would be insulting. This is giving those who are behaving badly a huge advantage. >> Well nobody is representing the list. So where does that leave us? > I am afraid you are wrong.

You have shown no such thing. You have shown some people who resent my speaking clearly. That doesn't mean much, those that resent something are always making more noise than those who don't care or would even prefer it that way. >> And perhaps I am causing a lot of trouble, that doesn't mean I am >> wrong.

You can't be even sure you speak for a majority, because once some small minority starts to speak up and pretend they speak for the whole group those who think differently often enough don't speak up. But for your ease of mind I'll make it clear I have no intention of haunting Nikos or of keeping him the subject of discussion. But should I stumble on a conversation in which his past behaviour is framed as him being innocentltly asking questions, I will point of what bullshit that is. -- Antoon Pardon -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
