I go there and hear you talking to a community of math teachers as if 
you were an official ambassodor of Python and edu-sig, and as if we were 
all on the bangwagon of "gnu math" and "__rib__ syntax" here.

My inituition failed to failed me again.

I don't see anything terribly wrong with a "gnu math" meme or  even 
__rib__, if you must.  But you are bullshitting them that there is a 
cohesive community around these particular Kirby-centric semantics 
here.  Just as you bullshit us that there is a legion of "gnu math" 
teachers out there awaiting your next instruction.

You are taking something open and public, and  narrowing it, and 
appropriating it.

I am an active participant of edu-sig (too active for some), so all I 
can demand is that you not purport to speak for me.  Consider this that 
demand.

More generally, I wish you would stop this flim-flam business. Or do it 
more elegantly, at least.
