Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

So the orange site is having a normal one over Python BFDL trying to skirt CoC by talking about mod actions against some old dude who caught a suspension for being precisely the sort of edgelord poaster I'd expect out of a Python maintainer, which the orange site was also not happy about. I even read a bunch of his posts in the thread, like where he calls people standing up to NixOS leadership "true villains".

FYI, Python is named after Monty Python

NO? Really?! Educate me, hackernews!

I wanted to torture myself so I looked into that person's posting history. They have made the exact same point that "Monty Python in fact used to mock the gays, how ironic huh?!?" three times in a row in different threads, really showing it to them wokes

But does he know that one of the Pythons was a member of the UK Gay Liberation Front?

Graham Chapman was, ironically enough, impeccable as the straight man of the group.
