I don't want to get sucked into an issue that I have little to no interest
in.  So I will observe rhetorically: some of you people waste a *lot* of
energy on games of "who's a troll."  Mabye it's time for you to establish a
c.l.p.advocacy newsgroup, to siphon those energies in a particular
direction?  But hey, it's your newsgroup.

Even as one who hasn't converted to Python yet, that statement is clearly
insane.
