The avatar is cute and funny, the character from the book, not so much. :p
In addition, I submit this:
(emphasis mine)
It is therefore reasonable to assume that the standards for "offensive" or "insulting" should be relaxed within the confines of the Backyard, as...
Please check the context of the quote (vis-a-vis the quote I posted, and was responding to). That post insinuated the same. I merely gave my response and one possible explanation. This is not...
Received from KiwiNZ:
I said nothing about anyone's "right to believe". Nobody's name was mentioned. Nobody posted back with any disagreement (the next post was actually a ringing...
Take heart, things will get better.
For Python, a whole pile of tutorials may be found here.
I am sorry to report to you, as one who actually works in the IT department of a very large company, that this is not true. In general, we tend to look for "off-the-shelf" solutions. Spending time on...
So far as I can tell, it never really went off-topic. Certainly no more than any number of similar threads, and to my mind, considerably less. Even the last three posts were ostensibly on-topic....

What was wrong with raw_input() built-in function?
IIRC, linuxquestions.org has a rudimentary form of this.
The point was that the obvious conlusion of his premise was without merit and kinda disgusting. I thought tippy-toe-ing around it would be disrespectful to the entire "class" of people he was...
Can you be more specific as to which clauses were allegedly violated?
OK. Why have the 2 posts now in the jail been jailed? The first was obviously meant sarcastically (the little rolly-eyes is a clue), and was clearly a consequence of the post I was replying to. And...
My nick is essentially made frum 2 words: Bun, well, you know what that is; and abattoir, which means slaughterhouse. So I am a bun slaughterhouse, and not exactly a candidate for the Adkins' diet....
It is probably because they can. Linux's memory management is better than Win32's, so more RAM is made available when needed. It will then be reclaimed by the OS when needed elsewhere.
It could...
