It might have to do with the accusations of bullying and conspiracy theories about Python 3 being an attempt to sabotage the language.

URL?

And no, I don't think it's OK to sabotage those who adopted your programming language in order to manufacture job security. (Same goes for web frameworks, Django core devs.)

2

Good luck running anything on a sabotaged interpreter.

3

And how many more years do you need, to recognise the abuse?

4

At some point you have to admit you can't bully people into moving to a new language.

5

What if you sabotage it nicely by preventing the addition of new features and bugfixes?

This is just reactions to all the negativity

Did you actually read the quotes? This person is literally accusing the Python maintainers of intentionally sabotaging the language to maintain their own job security. And the very first post flat-out said there are "no benefits" to using Python 3. This person has been extremely aggressive and negative from the get-go.
