OT-cooling w ruby (RE: Mongrel 0.3.13.1 -- Quick Small Fixes

Hi Zed and James,
To me, you both are very cool ruby hackers. so before you start calling
names to each other, might as well settle your diffs offline, preferably
w cool beer and pizza…
just my friendly nuby advice.
kind regards -botp

Thanks for the compliment,
Peña.
I don’t drink, but I’d consider having coffee with Mr. Shaw.

I replied privately to his recent post, and want to leave it at that,
and really don’t want to see anyone make anything more of this.

I had previously sent Mr. Shaw a private message, hoping to clarify my
lengthy post on ruby-talk, and had thought that any continued discussion
could have been handled that way. I was mistaken. Mr. Shaw and I have
different ideas on communication technique.

That’s life.

One other thing: I know the people who created and look after Rubygems,
and they have my utmost respect. If nothing else, I want to be sure
that they don’t take anything I wrote as a dig or a shallow way to ask
for changes. If I offended, my apologies.

just my friendly nuby advice.

Thanks, and much appreciated. By and large, the Ruby community has some
of the warmest and smartest people I’ve encountered. I’ve been
surprised on a few occasions to meet people in real life who’s online
presence was tactless at best, but who in fact are quite sincere,
enthusiastic, and well-intentioned. You never know. So I continue to
try to think well of people, even when they beg me not to.
