The PSF has become a force of ideological machine with zero tolerance to any disagreement. Tim was sadly banned from the very community he helped to build. He wrote about his ban, see https://tim-one.github.io/psf/

There was a "discussion" about some terminology in Python that was considered offensive going on and I remember a tweet from someone (I think it was Guido but I'm likely wrong) saying that many people who argue about these things (referring to politically correct terminology) seem to forget what Python was named after.

The language was named after the British comedy troupe rather than the snake.
