Can anybody explain to me why, every time Zed Shaw writes something, flamewars emerge? Even here on HN which is one of the most courteous comment sites on the web I know off, has so many deriding comments within in minutes.

Because Zed Shaw often writes things that are both (deliberately, AFAICT) inflammatory and about something which has a large interested community.


Zed Shaw used his public position to say that Python core developers were of low character and competency. When reading this article, I don't see how his position has changed.
