I'm not sure muppetism applies to the Zope community, it appears to be 
Zope Corporation who are coming out of this looking less than clever.

It's a shame, because really, they should be the ones benefitting from 
the community they've created, but instead they're more and more 
isolating themselves from a community which is finally starting to 
realise that Zope's continued popularity is not predicated on the 
survival of Zope Corporation.

I hope Lois in particular reads this and understands that you can't 
bully an open source community, and doing so is likely going have much 
worse consequences for the bully in the medium to long term than it will 
for the people being bullied.

cheers,

Chris
