Some of the older Pythonistas will remember my previous time on this
list, and possibly that I faded away quietly under time pressure from
other projects and the whole being-famous nonsense.

I'm back, for now primarily to listen. I have some questions about the
future direction of Python which I'll bring up when I have time for
the vigorous discussion that will certainly ensue.

ESR: As an important co-guest of honour at some tech conference 15 years ago, my view of this year's conference agenda is that it is full of gun-hating transexual SJWs, foisting their unisex bathrooms on me. In support of this, here are a bunch of agreeing rants by my wife, some other hanger-on whose name was involved in the ntpd "rewrite" drama as being deeply involved ... but on to bigger and better things than vcs->git, whitespace changes, and documentation changes, and finally, some other equally insane person I've never heard of who probably was the one who appealed to ESR for help.

(Note that I didn't read anything other than the first two paragraphs and then some random sentences in the OP, then some author names in the thread.)

Coraline Ehmke has said to me, directly on Twitter, that "You should
feel unsafe." In context, that she desires me to feel unsafe.

That, gentlemen and ladies, was the mask slipping. In SJW-land,
there will never be "safe space" for those who oppose the commissars.
