<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I have been a member here for quite a
few years and have seen a few descents into childish bickering and
flaming. But it seems to be gaining in frequency recently. <br>
<br>
I may not engage too often on the list but I do read a lot of what
get posted. And I am disappointed in what I am seeing. This is an
advocacy group not a IRC channel. It's supposed to be an
imporfmation channel for the FOSS comunity I love and believe in,
not a bulletin board for teen drama geeks.<br>
<br>
I know there is always going to be an adversarial air when ever
anything that involves elections surface, but do we here have to
lower ourselves to the level of modern politicians? Can't we just
ask questions without the trite comments and snide remarks? Can't
we reply without trivialization and degeneration? <br>
<br>
It makes me wonder if we are losing focus of why we are here in
the first place. <br>
<br>
I will now shut up and go back to lurking. <br>
<br>
Randall. <br>

Silly me, I thought Python was a globally recognised Open Source
Software project, driving many other FLOSS projects and some not so
unknown closed projects.
Care to fill me in on what I'm missing here?
