Well, I’m glad to hear that I’m off the hook, since I have no problem regarding Python as art (although I’m a Ruby man myself). That said: do you really mean that, given the set { Python, The Rite Of Spring, Beethoven’s Ninth }, the natural joint is { Python, Rite } | { Ninth }, and that this is so obvious that people who disagree deserve to be called rude names? If so, why? If not, what do you mean?
Also, it’s been a while since I read the Tschai books, but my recollection is that The Dying Earth is way better.
