Agreed. That's (partly) why I started this whole sorry thread. (I  
apologize.)

I'm a rubyist first and a rails adherent a distant fifth. I hate to be  
tarnished by such a broad brush, but Zed's rant hit the entire  
community. I had to shine a light on it. Though it would have happened  
anyway, I regret being the person to first post on it here. Sorry,  
sorry, sorry.
