Just wanted to let you know you've got a real negative environment
growing in here. I let you know something I learned from my esteemed
Harvard instructor and was met with shaming, inquisition, & disbelief
from the non-target audience. It's real sad. Python is a great language.

A place where I can be by myself, all alone
I kinda lay down in the back yard
Watch the leaves fall down on my face

You're quite right and I couldn't agree more. There are people posting
bigoted and offensive messages like the following:

We need to make it clear that people who post this sort of thing are
absolutely not welcome here, to prevent the negative environment you
mention from taking hold.

To take this discussion on a slight tangent, why do people need to
/like/ a programming language, just to use it? Why can't we have
a civil discussion about how to do something in Python, whithout
requiring the participants to praise the most Pythonic way, and sing
hymns to Guido van Rossum?

Here! Here!

Or stupid discussions about which is the fastest thing-a-ma-jig in Python.
If you need fast, you wouldn't be using a scripted language in the first place.

Now there is an example of exactly the same sort of thing it decries:
a ?stupid discussion? about some characteristic of Python that the
poster doesn?t understand.
