I don't think anyone is in any doubt about that, but none of your
replies have answered the question above.  The answer could be very
simple (maybe you just enjoy winding people up), or it could be very
grand (you think you can build a coalition to achieve some goal or
other), but there's been no answer so far.  (Note that I don't think you
owe any one an answer -- I'm just commenting that there has been none.)

This sort if misrepresentation of other people's views, and the fact
that you've complained about Python on comp.lang.python, points to it
being simply a form of entertainment.
