How dare you to speak for me, and *again* the rest of the subscribers?
There is nothing to apologize for when I am *helping* someone by giving them
useful information. You can apologize for your own presumptous behavior
instead.

Certainly I point out when people are wrong. That is how we develop
*knowledge*. For that it does not matter of you in your blissful ignorance
think that those are “smallest details”, which they are not. The underlying
process is called *learning*. You should try it sometime.

It is not an imaginary rule, it is a social convention that follows from
another social convention, simple politeness. When you are seeking the help
of people that you do not know, there is a principle of basic politeness
saying that you should tell them who you are. Especially if those people
have already extended you the politeness to tell them who *they* are; like
here, when you have read their names already.
Politeness is another thing you should try sometime, as I see that, your
having no valid argument at all, you like to throw dirt instead.

You do not even know me. I *am* a nice person, if only for the fact that I
do not let people suffer from their own ignorance, and I encourage them to
educate and enlighten themselves in order not be dependent on people like
you who tell them what they should think.
So *evidentially*, *you* are not a nice person. According to your own
"logic", *you* do not belong in the Python community. Go away.
