Audrey,

We would like to hear your thoughts on the antics pulled by Anand Pillai
(member of PSF).

Most of us, don't like the way he is hiding behind his style of "sarcastic
humor", but for
fear of being called an outcast from the community, we don't have the guts
to come out
in the open.

Being a member / moderator / owner of various e-groups (tech & non-tech) in
India,
I know very well, how quickly one can become an outcast for speaking out.
Especially,
against somebody popular like Anand.

I would personally, recommend, that a proper warning be served to Anand for
his
misconduct.

I sincerely hope that Anand is given his due for his uncalled and
unwarranted 'sarcastic humor'.

I am taking the trouble to escalate this issue, since Anand is a member of
PSF and President of
Indian Python Software Society. People with attitude like his should not be
allowed to hold such
posts.

Regards
Pratham

PS: If somebody has cloned the code repository by Anand, please share the
code with pyladies.
If you don't want to get entangled in this mess, email the code to me, I
will guarantee your anonymity.

Anand, in the meanwhile please read : http://www.pyladies.com/CodeOfConduct/
