This is a new high for Twitter gossip. Well done. Perhaps in the next

vote

the politbureau can indicate the intended outcome beforehand so we know how to vote.

Quite frankly I don't give a hoot what gets said on twitter, as it appears to be reserved for morons like the current president of the USA.

I happen to be on Twitter so you just called me a moron, Mark (as well as many other core developers). While I think Stefan's response was uncalled for, he at least felt like the injured party and thus his response could potentially be attributed an impassioned response that should not have occurred. IOW while I understand why the reaction occurred, that doesn't excuse it while warranting a warning of that fact and that it shouldn't be considered acceptable behaviour overall. Your response, though, definitely crossed a line as you were insulting as well as not directly involved in the issue at hand, which means you had no direct motivation to be upset other than to prove a point and be rude entirely on purpose. IOW you were just piling on the rudeness for no good reason. For that reason, consider this a warning from me that this kind of behaviour is simply not acceptable. If it happens again I will request at least a 2 month ban for you from the mailing list.

While I agree with Antoine that the wording by Serhiy on Twitter was unnecessary, the tone in responses here are also unnecessary. As has been discussed both here on this mailing list and at the PyCon US language summit, reacting to actual or perceived rudeness with more rudeness is not reasonable behaviour. If something upsets you and you want to discuss it then that's fine, but wait until you can do so with a cool head (I avoided personal email for 2 days because of this email thread in order to not react harshly to it myself). IOW believing you have been disrespected does suddenly give you permission to be disrespectful as well. That simply leads to everyone not caring about your complaint and this whole environment ends up feeling hostile. On Wed, 4 Jul 2018 at 12:15 Ivan Levkivskyi wrote:

Just to clarify, the club of three in _my_ twit are the three authors of the PEP.

Also, how about you not telling me what to say?
