Obviously a great man, but that was no defense when the intolerant leftists came for him.

From "The Shameful Defenestration of Tim":

> "Instead, Python is now a grey, humorless, corporate place. The Steering Council and CoC Working Groups assume they can simply get away with asserting their correctness, crushing any dissent gracelessly, and relying on Python now being too big to fail. They’re probably right. That is a shame. Being now too big to fail is in no small part due to Tim being exactly whom he is within the threads that they derive their accusations from, and he deserves better."
