Lots of people say lots of inappropriate things about each other all the 
time, sometimes, unfortunately, on ruby-talk. The Wayne's World 
reference was in that category. I deleted it immediately, since it 
obviously was a purely personal jibe that had no relevance to ruby. It 
was _obviously_ immature.

The post of yours that I responded to purported to be a critique of a 
ruby project, and a casual reader of the list might have taken it as 
such. However, in context it was no better than the scatological 
reference, and just as immature. If you want to sling s**t, then sling 
s**t, and we can all ignore it. Just don't try to pass it off as 
technical commentary.

I will not post again on this thread.
