Be respectful.
Yes, I could have skipped this comment, and I am not in the habit of calling names; but frankly, enough is enough. Denis is posting libellous statements about me in every Big 8 newsgroup in which I participate because he often posts awfully wrong technically statements and just cannot stand being corrected by me. And who appointed you moderator? I would not mind if you *asked* people publicly for politeness as I do that myself sometimes, but I do mind the overall tone of your off-topic comments, your apparently trying to dictate what people are allowed to say here. If that’s the way this newsgroup works, I am off here. (But I seriously doubt it.) Because that is _not_ how Usenet is supposed to work. For now, just EOD for me, and F'up2 poster. -- PointedEars Twitter: @PointedEars2 Please do not cc me. / Bitte keine Kopien per E-Mail. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
