Hi All,

I am new to this forum and have joined to assist and get assistance and  
find out about new Ruby stuff.

I used to really enjoy the Ruby Insider but in my opinion that site  
seems to been taken over by Ruby haters. They are or course entitled to  
their opinion but there are a couple of people there (I resist the urge  
to list user names here) that try to post post 10 anit-ruby articles for  
every article that enlightens Ruby users about some aspect of th  
language. I am sooooo tired hearing about Zed and BabyCD that if I see  
one more post I think I’ll puke.

I don’t know if others have found this to be true but if so please  
recommend sites or forums to me that are helpful not hateful.

I must admit that (to me at least) Scala seems very promising and a lot  
of fun but if it’s community is crowded with the same ilk trashing the  
Rails Inside site I don’t know I want to hang with that crowd.

Best,  
Carl

Cool. Welcome to the ruby-talk mailing list.

Can’t change people, but you can be a good example.
