[Python-Dev] Tone it down on Twitter? (original) (raw)

While I agree with Antoine that the wording by Serhiy on Twitter was unnecessary, the tone in responses here are also unnecessary. As has been discussed both here on this mailing list and at the PyCon US language summit, reacting to actual or perceived rudeness with more rudeness is not reasonable behaviour. If something upsets you and you want to discuss it then that's fine, but wait until you can do so with a cool head (I avoided personal email for 2 days because of this email thread in order to not react harshly to it myself).

IOW believing you have been disrespected does suddenly give you permission to be disrespectful as well. That simply leads to everyone not caring about your complaint and this whole environment ends up feeling hostile.

Just to clarify, the club of three in my twit are the three authors of the PEP.

Also, how about you not telling me what to say? -- Ivan

Apparently I have made it into "club of three who don't care much about opinions of others" for the crime of a single +0.5 for PEP-572 without participating in the discussion at all (neither did Jason). https://twitter.com/SerhiyStorchaka/status/1014274554452209665 This is a new high for Twitter gossip. Well done. Perhaps in the next vote the politbureau can indicate the intended outcome beforehand so we know how to vote.

Thanks, Stefan Krah
