Robert: Hey come on, don’t be hard on Trans.I’m really not trying to be rude here, the archive shows this pattern
clearly, and I think it’s problematic.
That’s absolutely laughable. The real pattern here is: Trans earnestly
asks if Foo would be a good idea, and then “the gang” devolves the
conversation into a Trans bash. Heaven help anyone else who might
agree, even a smidgen, with Trans, like poor Robert here.
The whole situation has become intolerable. It’s so bad that I have to
tell people, when I submit a patch or otherwise help with someone
else’s code, not to mention me with regards to it for fear that
they’re project might get tainted by the slander of Ryan and friend’s
for having any association with me.
I even went to RubyConf once, but had to turn around and leave b/c I
have felt so eviscerated in this public forum --I could not stomach
the thought that the same might happen in person.
The fact is, your guy’s behavior is ignorant, overtly rude,
disingenuous, condescending, cliquish and childish. You are simply
bullies. You do not earnestly engage in conversation. In this very
thread there were points made that none of you ever addressed, and
instead simply repeated the same broken argument --before devolving
into your usual public circle jerk.
It is untenable. And I have had enough. It is no longer important
enough to me to put up with it. So I am exiting --stage left. It
greatly saddens me to do so as some of my projects were, after such a
great deal of time and work, reaching a level of solidity that I was
looking forward to sharing them with a broader audience. But who
really cares right? You’d rather I be in a parallel universe.
I don’t need to go on any further. Other’s have said it all before.
