Whether or not you were responding in kind or your response was
warranted or even justified (none of which I'll grant), the point is
that you didn't reply by mail only to your detractor, you posted your
response publicly for everyone in the comp.lang.python newsgroup/Python
mailing list (they're gated to each other) to see.

Regardless of what perceived wrongs you think have been done, a response
like that reflects badly on _you_.
