Speaking as a Django user and occasional developer, I'm sorry to hear
that you had a bad experience with the Django community.  I have
generally found it to be friendly and helpful, at least on the mailing
list and the IRC channel.  The ticket triagers have 1800+ open tickets
to organize, so they can get ornery about duplicates at times.

Are you referring to ticket #14081?  I expect the reason this hasn't
been addressed is because nobody has submitted a patch or suggested an
improved wording.  If you were to make a suggestion, I doubt that
anybody would be hostile to the idea of improving the tutorial.

Cheers,
Ian
