This forum doesn't have authorised moderators, and we don't have a body of state employees charged with meting out justice evenly to all parties. If you perceive uneven application of our code of conduct, that will go a long way to explaining it. What we do have is a community of volunteers whom we expect to both uphold the code of conduct and self-apply it to the extent feasible. This works only if we acknowledge both that we are human and will be inconsistent and make errors, and conversely that what we *intend* to do matters less than the actual and potential effects of our actions. Anyone who feels compelled to be vitriolic here needs to find a way to stop it, regardless how they perceive the treatment of others. We all need each other's efforts to keep this community healthy. -- \ “I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I | `\ like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.” —Bilbo | _o__) Baggins | Ben Finney -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
