We don't know. This is not the appropriate forum for such questions. Please find 
a different forum for your server administration questions. Try this one:

This is not a Python question. You have to judge for yourself whether
the antagonism you've created here and elsewhere has merited a
directed attack, or if it's likely to be just drive-by attacks.
Computer security is a field on which we could discourse for hours...
but not on this list unless it's particularly Python-related.

As others have said this is no longer python related & i am not going to 
answer any further.

I never claimed that they are.  That doesn't mean that when somebody
misbehaves, you can do whatever you want in retaliation without regard
for others who might be involved.

Yes, when one kid is yelling at another kid because the second kid
pulled the first kid's hair, the teacher should just ignore the
yelling because, after all, "he started it."  I'm sure that won't
cause any disruption in the classroom at all, and having one kid
yelling probably isn't going to set any of the others off, is it?

As for letting the "bullies" (which I'll take as a metaphor for
trolls, since I've not once seen Nikos act like a bully) get away with
things, none of these threads have been about pursuing any sort of
justice, so don't try to frame the discussion as if they are.

My apologies then for implying that you have been actively feeding the
troll; I have not been paying attention to who is or isn't doing that.
 I replied to you because you've been very vocal on the topic, and
because you wrote things that I wanted to respond to, not to single
you out as the problem.  I'm not going to individually address every
single person who I think is contributing to the problem, because
that's not my job and I don't have time for it.  If you think that's
not being fair, then that's tough, but this mailing list is not a
kindergarten.  We're all adults here, and I expect that others who are
feeding the troll will have the maturity and self-awareness to
recognize that what I wrote applies to them without me having to
repeat myself a dozen times.

I've spoken up on this issue before.  I'm not going to repetitively
respond to every single post or even every single thread that I think
is problematic.  If I did that, then I would be part of the problem.
As I said above, I chose to speak up now because you wrote things that
I specifically wanted to respond to.  For the most part however I
prefer silence in the knowledge that making noise just invites more
noise.  For that reason you can expect that I will drop out of this
thread again shortly, likely after this post.

This has nothing to do with empathy.  I can understand why others are
frustrated and yet still expect them to control themselves.

In my world, treating somebody like an adult is a mark of respect, and
treating them otherwise is not.  Part of treating somebody like an
adult is expecting them to take responsibility for themselves.  If you
don't see things that way, then I think we have very different
outlooks on life in general.

Every time he uses foul language against somebody he's acting like a bully.

Every time he reposts questions and ignores answers he's acting like a bully.

Every time he declares that what he wants is the most important and so he is going to ignore our culture and the topic 
of this forum/ml/ng he is acting like a bully.

If you haven't seen those posts, I have.  Now you know.

Per Wikipedia: "Bullying is the use of force, threat, or coercion to
abuse, intimidate, or aggressively to impose domination over others.
... One essential prerequisite is the perception, by the bully or by
others, of an imbalance of social or physical power."

None of the behaviors that you cite are examples of bullying.

I apologize for that and of course by that time i didn't knew this info 
about your mother.

But please recall how many times and in what degree you insulted me (let 
alone others insulting me simultaneously) prior of me loosing my temper 
and spoke the way i did.

When the pressure is too high and i'm having difficulties on solving 
something and all i get back are collective insults instead of actual 
help i let some steam off.

But my insults should have been explicitly directed at you, not at your 
mother.

You are again trying to spin this as if you are just the victim of
bullies.

But the fact is that you did get actual help. What you didn't get was
a solution completely to your satisfaction. You also displayed no
interest in actual learning but expected others to do your work.

This is a pattern that is repeated numerous times and people are
getting utterly fed up with it. So when you come around for yet
another round of the same, frustration levels rise and people
let off some steam.

So even though he is being verbally abusive, the fact that he's not standing over me with a stick makes him not a bully? 
  We'll have to agree to disagree on this point.

Is "bullying" the new "terrorism", which in turn is the new "socialism"? 
That is, a meaningless term of opprobrium used on anything you don't 
like? That's what it sounds like to me.

Nikos has practically no power in this community. He's one person, 
friendless in this community, with no social standing. His position is 
way down the bottom of what little pecking order a bunch of geeks has. 
Nobody looks up at him for guidance or for hints as to what sort of 
behaviour is acceptable. He has no Python know-how to withhold from those 
he doesn't approve of (or inclination to help others). He can't even 
force anyone to read his comments. I say this not to make him out to be 
the victim here, he is at least equally responsible for the position he 
is in, but to highlight the absurdity of claiming he is "bullying" 
anywhere here.

Just because (generic) you are annoyed by Nikos, or even if your feelings 
are hurt because he called you a bad name or insulted your dead mother, 
doesn't mean you are the victim of bullying. Claiming the badge of 
victimhood for mild annoyances and hurt feelings is one of the least 
admirable parts of the politically-correct crowd, please don't emulate 
them.

But I didn't do whatever. What I did was similar in what others
had been doing before. And while those others were doing it
they received very little reaction. So why the reaction now?

Thank you for making my point. You are concentrating completely
on the yelling and ignoring that somebody pulled the yellers hair.
So you have no problem with the teacher telling the yeller to stop
it, while ignoring that the hair puller is largely ignored in this.

No I'm just pointing out, that "he started it", can at times be
important enough to at least create some understanding for why someone
behaved in the way he did.

Well you can expect all you want. It is not going to happen. Your
expectations are completely unrealistic and the way you react will
be perceived by a number of people as just an attempt to getting those
that are frustrated silenced without much care about what caused those
frustrations.

If you mostly keep silent, then the specific choice of message you
choose to respond to, can be a very powerful if implicit message in
itself.

So if you choose to ignore the spoon feeders and others who blow life
into a thread and make it flourish but then choose to react to those
who later started to contribute after some time out of frustration or
boredom with yet another of Nikos threads, you are sending a clear
message that you don't have much of a problem with the first but you do
have a big problem with the latter. You may not intend it, but that is
what happens anyway.

It looks like in your world you have a very limited idea of how adults
behave. Expecting the others to behave like adults has often enough
been the strategy of the priveledged to ignore justified frustration.
It is a win either way. If the frustration is uttered in an adult,
mature way it doesn't cause much discomfort and is easily ignored. So
when those who are frustrated see that being adult and mature doesn't
get them much and start reacting a bit less adultly and maturely the
frustration can now be dismissed as not being done in an adult and
mature way.

That is your goal here too. You are not interested in the frustrations
of a number of people. You just want to be able to ignore there are
frustrated people on the news group.

Part of treating somebody like an adult, is taking them seriously.
Talking about taking responsibility as a code for demanding them
to behave in a way that doesn't discomfort you is not treating
somebody as an adult.

No, that's not my point.  Who has more power in this social forum, you
or Nikos?  I don't condone Nikos' behavior in any way, but if anybody
is acting like a bully here, it is the people attempting to intimidate
and coerce him into leaving.

I've already answered that, so as far as I can see you're only asking

No, they both get detention.  But I'm not going to bother addressing
the hair puller about it in this case, because he is incorrigible.  It
would serve no purpose and only fan the flames.

There is absolutely nothing that I can do about what caused those
frustrations, so what practical difference does it make whether I care
or not?

Nobody is being disenfranchised here.  If you want to make this about
privilege, then I will just say that I think it is the height of
privilege to be fussing over the fact that there are people who annoy
you on the internet, and moreover doing so to the detriment of the
community.

It's not about me at all.  If it were, I would be more likely to just
unsubscribe than to raise a fuss about it.  It's also not about you,
and it's not even about Nikos.  What it is about is that this crap
about Nikos is often the first thing that newcomers will see when they
join this group.  You seem very concerned in your posts about what
kind of message I'm sending by what I choose to respond to.  Well,
think about what kind of message it sends to a new user when their
introduction to the group -- which is supposedly about Python -- is a
lot of flaming directed at some poster whom they know nothing about.
You keep trying to cast certain people who are frustrated by Nikos as
victims in all this, but they're not.  I think that all who have
posted in this thread, and many who haven't, are probably all
frustrated in one way or another by all this -- I know that I
certainly am.  The victims are the community as a whole, and anybody
who decides not to join because they see this fracas and decide to
seek out a more inviting forum.

Here's my plea to everybody, in a nutshell.  Remember that the name of
this group is comp.lang.python.  It's *not*
alt.misc.flame.trolls.nikos.sucks.  The topic here is Python, and if
you want to talk about that, then welcome and please do.  If on the
other hand you just want to vent your frustration, then find somewhere
else to do it.  Please.

I said I would be bowing out soon, and now I will.  This argument is
tiresome and seems only to be counter-productive.  If these threads
are still going on in another six months then I will probably speak up
again, and we can rejoin this circus then.

If you want to persuade people to change their behaviour, it matters
very much if you can show them you care.

Is it? Then why are you fussing here? Why don't you address the spoon
feeders who frustrate other group members to the detriment of the community.

So? If this wasn't about you, this just wouldn't make a difference to
you.

Just making sure you were aware of that aspect as the rest of your contribution
strongly suggested you were not.

Well one message obviously is that it is possible to annoy the regulars to
the point that they start flaming you. I don't think that is bad.

The community as a whole suffers when its members get frustrated and
one part of the community telling the other part to just deal with
it is no way to turn the community into something welcoming again and
is IMO more detrimental to the community than a number of people
venting their frustration.

You expect those that get frustrated to tolerate Nikos and to tolerate
the spoon feeding, but you are unable to tolerate the venting of
frustrations.

Why would they be a victim? What is there to be victim about seeking
out a more inviting forum? I also think you are confusing a welcome
community with a community without conflict.

> Here's my plea to everybody, in a nutshell.  Remember that the name of

It is also not alt.misc.keep.spoon.feeding.nikos.

But if you want to spoon feed a help vampire to the detriment of the
group you can go right ahead?

hi all,

I've been thinking about learning Python for scientific programming.. but all of these flame war type posts make the user community look pretty lame.  How did all of these nice packages get written when most of the user interaction is .... this??

Can anyone tell me, is there another newsgroup where the discussion is more on python programming?

thanks

I apologize for all of the flame wars.  All online communities have to deal with negative forces in their midst, and we are no exception. It doesn't always go smoothly.

Please start a new thread with your question about scientific programming.  I promise it won't go badly.
