It's sad. Almost everyone (including people on that Python mailing list thread below) has jumped on him calling him a troll while (not to their own fault) missing that this guy has mental health issues. He needs professional help not money.

Some people are just assholes and do not have mental health problems. Unless you're widening the definition for MH problem to include things like anger or Asperger's syndrome.

  Being an asshole is a mental problem.

    It can also be an occupation, such as working for the government, or the Free Software Foundation.

  Those people could certainly benefit from working with a counselor. There's a wide range of "personality disorders" that are maybe not "mental health problems" requiring medication, but are still issues that take external help to solve.
