If you don't understand why I cited the code of conduct and redirected discussion to a more appropriate forum for constructive discussion, go read our code of conduct vs the language that was being directed at us and what being linked from this toxic site was about to bring.

There was no fighting. As soon as Mark piped up I was extremely pleased to see that he had found something that should've been obvious that we'd overlooked in the process of doing everything spread over time. Mark wasn't able to review the PR code before it was made public due to the current processes (lack of...) we're working to improve for the Python security response team.

"pedantically correct" was not intended to be read as passive aggressive. I use that term to mean exact vs almost when it comes to computations. I didn't need convincing. I wanted the reasoning to be made understandable to everyone else in the future (future selves included) who was going to read this code later. I still think there is room for better explanation of the math but that is true for large parts of Objects/longobject.c anyways.

I find your interpretation of events... amusing. :P

I went back and read the last comments before the CoC was invoked, and I read the CoC as well. Having done that, I don't understand which part of the CoC the comments were in violation of. Could you expand on why you think it was appropriate to shut the discussion down without even responding to those comments?
