It should be interpreted as:
- No further discussion should take place on this thread.
- I've done what I can with the primitive tools at hand to block
any further discussion.
- Continued considerate posts will be discarded.
- Continued flame-bait/inconsiderate posts will be met with warnings
or stronger as warranted.
On what grounds are you suppressing debate? It is exactly and precisely not irrelevant to Python, since it's discussing a
Python-specific change to known and understood computing terminology, and frankly the statement "Continued considerate posts will
be discarded" is outrageous.
I have been unimpressed with the moderation team for some weeks now, but this
is just not acceptable.

there seems to be a considerable humour deficit in some quarters. The language is called python and is named after Monty Python's
Flying Circus (https://docs.python.org/2/faq/general.html#why-is-it-called-python). Apparently we now also have the Spanish
Inquisition :)
