Same old story.  BartC spouts drivel, just like the RUE, or Nick "The 
Webmaster" Greek, I'm in trouble for pointing it out.  When he provides 
some *EVIDENCE* to back up his claims then I'll more than happily back 
off.  I do not intend holding my breath, and I do not intend backing 
off.  The Python community cannot let itself get into a position whereby 
crap is spewed by people and they're allowed to get away with it.  You 
lot might also be gutless cowards like he is, I'm not, and you might 
gather I'm not afraid to say so.

For example asking for benchmarks that back up his claims is exactly 
like asking the RUE for evidence to support his claims regarding the 
FSR, they simply never appear.  Why not?
