If you see https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2016-August/thread.html#start
you will see that there was only one post there — by Steven d'Aprano
And now yours.

IOW both Mark Lawrence and “DFS” have been banned (it seems) at least from
the mailing list.

They do appear on google-groups — ironic given Mark’s feelings for the same

To DFS: I believe you were banned for some insults/profanities.  Would it not
be a good idea to desist and stay within the ambit of this list’s subject?
I would expect in due course the ban would be lifted.

Would give the same advice to Mark… not sure if he’s listening

[Personal note]  I don’t like bans and have on occasion disagreed with the mods
on that.  Unfortunately it seems that their judgement is proving more right
than mine  :-(
