This post has nothing to do with the title. The content of the post clearly shows that the writer is upset that the way he is expressing himself isn't acceptable in somewhere like the Ruby Rogues Parley.
I'm a member of the Ruby Rogues Parley and I saw your posts. The combination of you swearing a few times and calling people out for "TDD challenges" is what made people flag your post, not because of your ideals. People on the parley respectfully disagree with each other all of the time.
- hderms 13y agoEvery once in a while I'm reminded of the negative side of the ruby community that people always talk about. I'm not entirely sure why there seem to be a ton of highly negative and highly vocal people giving it a bad name, or if it's even anything other than my selective bias, but it is really unfortunate. For every Matz and Jim Weirich there seem to be ten Ruby rockstars who think the best way to make a name for themselves, or have their argument known is by being the biggest bully. Are other communities like this or is it more pronounced in the ruby community?
- chadcf 13y agoIt honestly seems like it's more prominent in the ruby community, and I'm not entirely sure why. Part of it may be that ruby is so expressive and nice to work in that it ignites people passions, which can be good or bad... I can say, however, that years back when I was trying to get into ruby from PHP, people like this gave me a very negative view of the ruby 'community' and were the biggest obstacle I had to embracing ruby.
- BigTuna 13y agoThanks for this insight. I got the same feeling while reading it and suspected it was the manner of delivery more than the disagreement.
