What Chris said: in the case of this list/newsgroup contact 
python-list-owner@python.org. If we decide to take action, and the 
person in question is coming in via Usenet, all we can do is block them 
at the gateway.

Be aware, though, that aside from patently unacceptable behaviour, we're 
not really interested in policing specific outbursts. People get hot 
under the collar, lose their cool, say things they might regret. And, 
thankfully, often come back a while later and apologise.

Where it's a case of persistent offensiveness and/or disruption to the 
list/newsgroup we'll consider pointing the fact out to the person in 
question and moderating their posts for a period. All we can do, really.
