Subject: About Steve Yegge's 'Opinions considered harmful' post

Excuse me, but where in this post does anything about Ruby arise?

Maybe you misjudged the 'opinion' topic.  Or maybe we're not on the
same page.  I thought it to mean opinions about Ruby, the way it
works, even the community, and things directly related to it.

Your last two posts, though I disagreed with them, were well within
this definition.  You were even syndicated in a few places with people
singing your praises.  Deleting them seemed a bit rash to me, but I
didn't mind seeing them go seeing as they were a bit accusatory
towards the Python community, as you had mentioned in your last post
to the mailing list.

This last post however is simply uncalled for.  Simply because James
Britt and I mentioned that we disagreed with you does not merit such
open hostility.  What exactly are you trying to prove?
