At least Ryan is still actively using Ruby so no complaint > here. hyperbole much? But I never compared anyones relative talents. So I don't see why it is even relevant. I don't need to compare myself to _why. I am who I am and I do the best that I can. Do you think _why is responsible for the creation of _why? _why is fortunate that the Universe/God has bestowed upon him the gifts that it has. But I am glad he shared them with us. > Zed just isn't. It is of no interest what he does other than writing > stupid flames against _why while having abandoned Ruby completely. Isn't what? Zed is entitled to his opinions, and as least he expressed them before moving on. I wouldn't say Zed "abandoned" Ruby either. He made a personal decision to develop code elsewhere, but just recently I was working on some Ruby code for viewing librelists, when I mentioned it wasn't Python but was Ruby, he didn't mind at all but was in fact quite encouraging. > > how it is that poor behavior seems to garner more respect than honest. > > You seem to be the one here who enjoys riding the attacks.

The only criticism I have is of his "closing act". Are you really going to argue that deleting all his open source projects and leaving without a word was morally upstanding? > > Eventually I will be moving on to projects unrelated to Ruby, though > > I will remain available to provide support if needed. > > Oh!

Hopefully they will be of great > quality, after all one gets to be famous critisizing _why these days eh? trollwagon? I said I was going to move on over a year ago. Didn't your read Ryan's post? That's hardly what _why did. Would you rather I deleted all my projects and the google group archive and up and left without a word too? Or is it you simply have no idea about me whatsoever, so really shouldn't be making accusations?
