I assume that it has gotten a little bit impossible to contact _why.

  Zed didn't seem to try very hard before assuming the mantle of Internet Behavior and Buddhist Philosophy Police. [Edit] The downvotes truly boggle my mind. Since when did it become socially acceptable to public dress down a software community member without any facts, evidence, or corroborating information? Zed Shaw is trolling. He has nothing in the game (he 'cut all ties' to Ruby, remember?), no relation to _why, and no reason to be publishing invective from his bully pulpit other than a desire to inject himself into the conversation. He doesn't know what happened to _why, or what _why has planned, or whether the code is gone for good.

    You're entirely right. As it happens, _why's email address was pretty well-known; furthermore, judging somebody so quickly after something's happened is brash and impertinent. Even if you were wrong, you're making well-reasoned points, and it's irritating that people are downvoting you and upvoting snark.

    It's as much as a response to the people responding to him on Twitter as anything else.
