It sounds like they just want peace in the workplace, leave the drama
outside. God forbid that. I admit, I'm an offensive person at times,
but for better or worse I don't officially have a job, so I don't have
this kind of dilemma of offending coworkers. I'm not gonna judge this
guy, in other words, but nor will I judge his boss(es) who have to
cope with it.

Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent. States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.

It's Tim Peters. He created Timsort.

I was following some related links and saw a Python board member (David
Mertz) said:

"Our current board has a majority of people from the Global South or
otherwise marginalized groups. That is encouraging and an extremely
positive thing. As long as people who are demographically similar to me
do not again have a majority, I have the utmost faith in the Board."

I emailed him and reminded him there would be no Python without White
males, and that he was a self-hating loser.

So Python has moderators! Based on that URL, he seems to be a bit of an
asshole. He would fit right in here :-.

He sounds like a normal guy being scrutinized by a bunch of
politically-correct Chris Ahlstrom-type weenies.

"The user showed these repeated violations of the following behaviors
expected by the Code of Conduct:

* Overloading the discussion of the bylaws change (47 out of 177 posts
in topic at the time the moderators closed the topic), which created an
atmosphere of fear, uncertainty, and doubt, which encouraged
increasingly emotional responses from other community members. The later
result of the vote showed 81% support for the most controversial of the
bylaws changes, which demonstrates the controversy was blown out of
proportion.

* Defending “reverse racism” and “reverse sexism”, concepts not backed
by empirical evidence, which could be seen as deliberate intimidation or
creating an exclusionary environment.

* Using potentially offensive language or slurs, in one case even
calling an SNL skit from the 1970s using the same slur “genuinely
funny”, which shows a lack of empathy towards other community members.

* Making light of sensitive topics like workplace sexual harassment,
which could be interpreted as harassment or creating an unwelcoming
environment.

* Casually mentioning scenarios involving sexual abuse, which may be
inappropriate or triggering for some audiences.

* Discussing bans or removals of community members, which may be seen as
publishing private information without permission.

* Dismissing unacceptable behavior of others as a “neurodivergent”
trait, which is problematic because it creates a stereotype that
neurodivergent people are hard to interact with and need special treatment.

* Excessive discussion of controversial topics or past conflicts, which
could be seen as sustained disruption of community discussions.

* Use of potentially offensive terms, even when self-censored or alluded
to indirectly.

* Making assumptions or speculations about other community members’
motivations and/or mental health."
