[Zope] Disgraceful

[Asad Habib]

Paul, I appreciate all the time and effort you have invested in Zope and I
also appreciate the investment of other members. However, I don't feel
that any member has the right to be rude to another member because of
their seniority. In fact, one would expect a senior member to serve as a
role model for starters.

In the past I have been snubbed by several members for reasons unknown
to me(in particular, Jung and Maurer). These two seem to think that they
own the group and have insulted me as well as others on numerous
occasions. I appreciate their input and the time they have invested in
Zope, but does this give them the right to abuse others?

Also, on numerous occasions people have made assumptions about what I did
or did not do before posting a question to the group. I usually spend a
couple of hours trying to diagnose the problem myself before posting it to
the group. However, the solution is sometimes not evident. Does this give
other members the right to degrade me?

This is the point that Mike was trying to make. Thanks for listening Paul.
