Dear ruby list members
Ruby is great...no, it's awesome! And you people make it even better by
answering all those questions that Ruby users sometimes have. But you're
one funny bunch fore sure. After reading this list for a while, I've
come to the following conclusions:
- The Japanese lot
Dudes, you're awesome...you created the whole language and all...but
dang, you're English grammar sucks! How can you possibly be smart enough
to come up with a whole new language, but at the same time, be an epic
failure at the one that is most widely used?
- Robert D.
France and England always have been and always will be at loggerheads.
You seem to be trying to change that by actually trying to understand
the French. And use there language on this forum. Please! Some of us
here hate French. Unlike you, we were forced to learn it in school. An
experience that scarred me for life. And probably negatively impact my
intelligence as well.
- Pascal J. Bouillon (oui?)
You're last name sounds like a variant of fondue. You're persistence on
comparing everything to Lisp, on the other hand, is much firmer. (By the
way, did you somehow infect Robert D.?)
- James Edward Gray II, King of Ruby Land
The resident aristocrat. I do like your tutorial on M17N.

It's simple: first think, /then/ post. No, not the other way around,
which will result in a mess - both here and in real life. Take it from
me, I always make sure what I wrote makes sense before I post - which is
why I end up never posting in the first place.
- David B.
You're...uhm...really good, I guess. Gee, there's nothing much to say
about you. Can't even insult you based on a perceived lack of
intelligence. You must therefore be lacking personality.
- Eleanor McH.
You know, English is not my native language, so I was in the mistaken
belief that you were a dude like the rest of us...until I saw a picture
of you somewhere on the web...now, every time I read one of your posts,
I must make an effort to replace that mental image of the random nerd
with that of the cute chick physicist.
- Rick D.
Just like I pictured Eleanor to be a dude, I imagined you to be in your
20ies. Unlike Eleanor's case, this might be flattering, though. Because,
one day, I visit your profile on workingwithrails.com, and boom! goes my
bubble. You're old - probably could be my grandpa! So, what was it like
to be a programmer before WWII? Had electricity even been invented at
that time? Or did you have hamsters (or nerds) on wheels to power your
computers?
- Park Heesob
Jesus, you seem to know everything! I start reading a post, and I'm
like: you're so screwed, dude, there ain't no easy solution to that
problem for sure. But as soon as I read your name, I know there is a
solution. You really make ruby look like a walk in the park - yes, pun
/intended/.
So, yeah, that's it! You really are a weired lot. But it would be much,
much more boring without you. Sort of like a Microsoft forum.
Truly yours
