I'll just repeat what I've said earlier, as this is the main essence:

"If you (people) continue to attack me on a *professional* level,
I'll
have to react at some point."

Please Do. Empty threats are more boring than empty threads.

This is neither a threat, nor is it empty.

But who can explain this to paranoid minds.

This is a excellent summary.

And an ideal epilogue to close this thread.

So, good night to all!

Has anyone asked *how* he'd react? =A0I'm curious about what sort of
reaction is even possible in this case.

It's buried in the thread, but Ilias threatens (emptily, so far) to
sue whoever is pointing out his trollish nature.

Mr. Perrin, it seems that your messages do not arrive on
comp.lang.ruby (usenet).

Why should they ask? It's much more fun to let the paranoia do the

There are several options, but you cannot uncover them.

I react already, but until they realize how, it'll be too late.

So much miss-information in just one sentence - just fascination!

But now it's really time to close this thread.

Good night, lovely friendly people!

In other words, you mention laws that seem relevant (until I do five minute=
s=20
of research), and that you'll have to "take action".

You see this as "not a threat", yet you admit, right here, that you don't=20
clarify things because it's "more fun to let paranoia do the..." something.=
=20
What, do the work of convincing us that it's a legal threat?

It seems pretty clear that your intention was for people to interpret this =
as=20
a legal threat. I see only two possible interpretations: Either you actuall=
y=20
do intend to threaten (or at least intimidate) people with the force of law=
,=20
or you only make it seem as though you would do so because it's fun to see =
how=20
people react.

So, either you are genuinely making legal threats, or you are by definition=
a=20
troll. Now that is fun.

Well, that's ominous. Looks like you've dropped from legal threats to vague=
,=20
unspecified threats. I'm quaking in my little boots.

Here's the funniest part:
=20

I suppose some of it might be, but it seems pretty obvious that either you =
do=20
make exactly those threats, or you are exactly a troll. At least one of the=
se=20
things is true, as you've demonstrated here.
But now it's really time to close this thread.

I might exit it as well, though. Ilias is far less productive to talk to th=
an=20
the most clueless newbie, the most diehard religious fundamentalist, or the=
=20
most stubbornly dogmatic zealot of any kind. What makes him so frustrating =
is=20
that despite initiating the conversation (by, for example, asking a questio=
n),=20
he tends to outright dismiss any responses, rather than actually argue agai=
nst=20
them.

Most of his responses, and nearly all of the responses to anything I wrote,=
=20
fall into these categories:

- Unfounded assertions.
- "Summarizing" (read: strawmanning) messages with little sentence fragmen=
t=20
summaries, and then either ignoring it or responding to the strawman.
- Telling us what to do or how to respond, as if he owns the group or thre=
ad.
- Threats.
- TL;DR.

There's also the most recent, isolated case of sarcastically repeating my=20
message without once pointing out what makes it so ridiculous.

Every now and then, perhaps every five or ten messages, I actually get a=20
response to my point, and it's a fantastically poor response -- like earlie=
r=20
in this thread where he actually responded, once, to my observation that th=
e=20
Wikipedia article seems to be removed for notability reasons, rather than=20
personal attack. The response was to take a quote from the page I linked to=
,=20
out of context.

When I put it back in context, he gets sarcastic and reminds me that he=20
doesn't take me seriously, and we're back to this crap. So there's almost a=
=20
discussion going on, but the signal-to-noise ratio is just impossible.

I doubt his response to this message will be any different. In fact, I'd be=
t=20
money he doesn't read this far -- TL;DR again. The killfile option is=20
definitely looking more attractive all the time.

names = ["Jane", "Michele", "Isabella"]

# current behaviour
names.each do |name|
  print name
end

#Question: How can I alter the behaviour of "each" in the following
way:
names.each do
  print item         # "item" is used by default
end

Is this possible, without going to C-level?
