I think I might just have to stick up for Chris as it appears he’s buggered off, hopefully to the Rails mailing list, but certainly away from this one. I think the mass bashing by people being incredibly defensive about Ruby has scared him off the list for good… The poor lad’s only having a rant! You’ve got to admit the subject got everyone’s attention! I’m not having a go, or even condoning Mr Richards, I’m just saying calm down! It’s almost as if he dared to say your child was a geek and not an uber geek… (see previous non-related mail for reference). Matz didn’t get involved and it’s his kid! There, my good deed for the day… Gem P.S. please don’t bash me now!!! ---

The poor lad’s only having a rant! You’ve got to admit the subject got > everyone’s attention! No sorry to disagree not really a rant, an insult.

Because he is a wise and/or busy guy 😉 There, my good deed for the day… > Gem > > P.S. please don’t bash me now!!! Did I?, hopefully not! I just thaught the communities reaction was quite normal, but it is very good to defend when somebody gets bashed, just I think maybe he kind of asked for it ☹ ## Robert The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
