If you do a /whois mitsuhiko you will find out that I'm in the IRC channel of every Python framework and many web related libraries (That includes django, django-dev, pylons, repoze, python-genshi, python- babel, sqlalchemy). Normally I'm there for interesting discussions, experiences from other persons, interesting code snippets. In the framework channels every once in a while someone is using my stuff and needs help, for that I have a highlight. If you want to know why I joined the #web2py channel yesterday is because somewhere I was reading that such a channel exists, so I joined.
If you read the backlog of the channel from yesterday (I'm sure there are log somewhere) you will notice that I did not advertise any other technology nor framework there. My only question was why people are using web2py and was perplex when the answer was (compared to django) that web2py was "clean". Interestingly I got about ten mails about this issue by various people, most of which I do not know so I feel stalked. Nowhere I appeared on IRC did this cause such a storm of mails. And that's remarkable because there was a time where I did advertise my stuff (for example Jinja on #django) and that never happened. Please don't let that end in public name calling. To be totally frank: Neither do I like the web2py code nor the way you advertise it as an enterprise ready system everywhere. Whenever a discussion on reddit is about that topic, there is a link in the newsgroup so that other people can upvote it. I don't know if that's what you're after, but that puts web2py into a very bad light for many people that consider this inappropriate behaviour as well. So no, I'm not there to undermine your project. I'm the same person there I'm in any other channel. You're welcomed to do the same for any of the other python-web related channels out there.
