You're right of course. I've honestly been trying to avoid the Rails community for as long as possible (I'd like to avoid being associated with anyone who would call himself a "Rockstar Programmer"), and with Rails being as big as it is, I've pretty much avoided Ruby entirely.

Ruby community is quite reasonable. I usually avoid discussions in framework communities. At the other hand, programming language communities tend to be more reasonable and nerdy. I feel bad that you missed the chance to know ruby language due to anti rails.

I've coded in Rails since forever (0.5) and I honestly don't see how that dongml thing is funny. I'm not even able to understand how it is supposed to be funny, is it the dicks?

For sure I think that a language shouldn't be avoided for something different than technical reasons, and nothing else.
