Maybe people still remember this: http://web.archive.org/web/20090218021137/http://zedshaw.com... Sure you try to mask it as an attempt to be funny, but even if "it’s all an act" that acts make the person. Now I am off to http://bellard.org/ to clean my mind a bit.

Come on, admit that Zed is funny with style. He's bragging, too, but it's never condescending. That's the difference between a gentleman and dandy, and an ugly troll.

No, I won't admit that. His writing just makes me sad.

I'm sorry for you. Many of his rants made me laugh to tears. And more generally, did "Learning Python the hard way" make you sad, really ?

No need to be sad. I enjoy humor a lot, only not the Zed's kind. I did not ready LPTHW, but might some day :)

You know, I grew in the society which had a lot of problems and a consequence grew a very good sense of humor (and that without laugh tracks). If someone thinks that Zed's writing is funny they still have a lot to discover.
