That may be true of some parts of the internet.

But this is the Python community discussion forum. We have a much more
pleasant code of conduct <URL:http://www.python.org/psf/codeofconduct/>.

Please don't perpetuate awful behaviour (especially by the risible
euphemism “meritocracy”) here by appealing to the poor standards of
others.
