Re: [Python-Dev] Python should be easily compilable on Windows with MinGW
You mean honestly pointing out what would happen with a suggestion? It is a horrifically bad idea. I didn't say they were bad people. On 2/26/2016 13:14, Brian Curtin wrote:

You're right, you didn't directly insult Mathieu, but the tone was unnecessary. Calling mingw a "jenky mess" in your first response was not needed. Dan's response with "But what do you really think?" was also unnecessary as it was antagonistic. I suspect he was reacting to your rather emphatic "no" response instead of simply saying "it was be rather hard to make work" and leave it at that. But then your response to Dan crossed a line with the biting sarcasm. That tone was definitely unnecessary and every point you made in that email could have been phrased in a nicer fashion and still get the point across just as well. If you didn't like Dan's response you could have simply replied saying that fact and then kept the tone civil. On this list we believe you shouldn't respond to bad behaviour with worse behaviour. -Brett
