I don't think that's really fair. The poster was looking for a graphical
debugger, Huw has his Visual Studio integration for ruby (which gives
you a graphical debugger) and pointed it out as an option. Huw isn't
selling anything, and he doesn't spam the list with "Ruby In Steel!!!"
either. If you really think his occasional advocacy of his (free as in
beer)
software is so bad, you can always just killfile him.
