That’s absolutely laughable. The real pattern here is: Trans earnestly asks if Foo would be a good idea, and then “the gang” devolves the conversation into a Trans bash. Heaven help anyone else who might agree, even a smidgen, with Trans, like poor Robert here. The whole situation has become intolerable. It’s so bad that I have to tell people, when I submit a patch or otherwise help with someone else’s code, not to mention me with regards to it for fear that they’re project might get tainted by the slander of Ryan and friend’s for having any association with me. I even went to RubyConf once, but had to turn around and leave b/c I have felt so eviscerated in this public forum --I could not stomach the thought that the same might happen in person. The fact is, your guy’s behavior is ignorant, overtly rude, disingenuous, condescending, cliquish and childish. You are simply bullies. You do not earnestly engage in conversation. In this very thread there were points made that none of you ever addressed, and instead simply repeated the same broken argument --before devolving into your usual public circle jerk. It is untenable. And I have had enough. It is no longer important enough to me to put up with it. So I am exiting --stage left. It greatly saddens me to do so as some of my projects were, after such a great deal of time and work, reaching a level of solidity that I was looking forward to sharing them with a broader audience. But who really cares right? You’d rather I be in a parallel universe. I don’t need to go on any further. Other’s have said it all before.

Have a look at [releases.ossreleasefeed.com/](http://releases.ossreleasefeed.com/) There is currently an issue with the hash tags but once sorted, soon, you can simply follow the RSS feed for the hash ruby for example. Let me know if anyone wants to get involved in improving the current framework for release/announcement specific usage. Kind Regards, Schalk ---

Now if only people made a point of announcing things on ruby-talk, instead of only on twitter or their own blog. For example, I believe that fewer than half of the Ruby conferences held this year were announced on this list. – James B.

Not finding exactly what I wanted anywhere, I went ahead and created this group [http://groups.google.com/group/ruby-talk-announce](http://groups.google.com/group/ruby-talk-announce) which is just messages filtered from ruby-talk that has the word “ann” or “rel” in their subject.
