As someone who happens to be eternally grateful to the author for his contribution to the Python ecosystem [0], I kinda feel like this comment thread is overreacting to his overreaction. When I look at this post all I see is a useful, well explained, byte-size writeup that a search engine might recommend to someone looking for help in writing async Python.

Maybe it's because a bunch of my friends are Scottish and I get their sense of humour.
