Peace. For the Ruby Talk mailing list.
In an open system, everything counts, even small things.
I'm sorry I hit a nerve with my example as I certainly didn't mean to. And I
certainly didn't intend to engender a political discussion :-)
I chose an example which I found to be juvenile, insulting, and
counterproductive to any rational discussion, features that typically
identify trolls.
Next time I will be more careful in adding additional context and perhaps
posting additional examples.
Kindly,
