Note: I drafted a version of this post earlier today. I had been waiting
to see whether Nikos succeeded in baiting the list into yet another
round of unpleasantness before sending it, because I didn't want to
worsen the situation, but at this point things are completely out of
hand, and even what looks like a consensus attempt to ignore Nikos out
of existence is
a) failing: I count eighteen emails so far today.
b) going to lead casual visitors to assume either that we ignore
requests for help or that the list is Nikos' personal echo chamber.
At this point I consider Nikos' actions a conscious attack on the list.
There is simply no way, after the many times he's been told not to
repost, that this is anything other than a direct and deliberate attempt
to annoy as many people as he can.
That being the case, I'd like to know whether there are technical
measures that can be taken to prevent him from posting here.
Thanks for bringing this up, Zero. Nikos appears to be posting through
Usenet, apparently via eternal-september. I have emailed their abuse
address to ask if any action can be taken. I have also asked the
postmaster at python.org what our option are the mail-news gateway.
Obviously this isn't just about one poster: we need a means to (trying
to think of a better word than "police") the mailing list while allowing
for the usual give and take of off-topicness, temporary argumentation
and general banter. I and others are trying to bring to a focus off-list
discussions about who has the appropriate responsibility and right to
act in these cases.
FWIW today's outpouring has been more comical than tragic with few
people taking the bait :)

How difficult will it be to just use another free NEWS server to post
here or even under another mail address or another name or ALL of them
simultaneously?
