Not the post (Josh Susser) wanted to write

  tptacek: Warning! Do not read this! Bad for your blood pressure. ;) To everyone who still wants to read about that whole Ruby conference brouhaha: This is a nicely written apology for something that is almost certainly not this guy's fault. He apologizes anyway. Elegant and gracious.

    You know, I never would have, except that I wanted to find out what the lowest-ranked pg comment here was (it's -11, BTW) and then I decided to find my lowest-ranked comment, but accidentally got the searchyc query of everybody besides me who had ever used "tptacek" in a post, and found this comment, and now my blood pressure is spiking and it's all your fault.

  I still don't understand how this is being interpreted as a reflection on the community itself and not just seen as bush-league presentation skills by the company in question. (Not a Ruby developer. I thought the presentation was lame, but I've seen a lot of lame Powerpoints.)

    Because the bush-league presentation was done by a member of the "Rails Activist" team, which I can only presume is their outreach and evangelism arm. Guilt by association, but then that's this whole issue in a nutshell.
