The redesign thread strikes me as a bit off-topic, and perhaps too  
little, too late, given what is already underway.

But, for those who care to persue it, can we keep the comments civil?

Some of us here have thin skins, and will start crying if called names  
or if doubt is cast on our abilities.

More significatly, it degrades the discussion and ends up being  
counter-productive.

Thanks.

I couldn’t agree more with this sentiment. One of ruby’s greatest  
strengths, in my humble opinion, is its user/developer community.  
Please do try to be respectful of one another, it’s simple common  
courtesy really.

As James points out, this sort of thing is–at best–a disruption and  
off topic.
