It's not my website.  I don't own the domain, I don't control the 
hosting, I didn't generate the content, I have no access to change 
anything on it.  I've barely even frequent #python in the last three 
years.

Perhaps you were directing those comments at Stephen Thorne though 
(although I don't know if he's any more involved in it than I am so 
don't take this as anything but idle speculation).

I'm not going to condone or condemn events which I didn't observe.

However you've never witnessed me discouraging developers who were 
actively porting software to Python 3 because I've never done it.  I'm 
sure this was an honest mistake and you simply confused me with someone 
else.

This, however, I find extremely insulting.  I don't answer to you.  The 
only reason I'm replying at all is to correct the two pieces of 
misinformation in your message.

I don't see how this discussion can go anywhere productive, so I'll do 
my best to make this my last post on the subject.  Obviously I made a 
mistake posting to the thread at all.
