People have the entire internet to abuse us (and they do). That's why I spend as much time as I do explaining *why* various things in Python are the way they are.
However, we shouldn't have to put up with disrespectful bullshit on our own communication channels. Those are for us to collaborate on getting things done, not for Anatoly to whine incessantly about the world being something other than exactly the way *he* thinks it should be.
And yes, putting off potential contributors by continuing to tolerate his poisonous behaviour is *definitely* something we should be worried about.
Regards, Nick.
