I'm not interested in prosecuting that David gives off fascist vibes. I don't have to provide proof. Kinda lazy that you're all not out there looking for the proof yourself.

To reorient the discussion around what the original poster talked about, that he gives off Elon Musk Vibes. And that it's a problem. Well it IS a problem. A problem openly, and vigorously discussed in the Ruby community.

Many people have left the Ruby community because of his behavior, and many more have chosen never to come into the community because of it. Because of the perceived strong association between him and the Ruby and Rails community at large.

Anyways, as per my original point, that despite the Fascist vibes from that guy, Ruby and Rails are still really great choices.

Oh, so you don't have any proof, got it. Your claims have been dismissed, David is not fascist.

>Kinda lazy that you're all not out there looking for the proof yourself.

There is no proof.

>To reorient the discussion around what the original poster talked about, that he gives off Elon Musk Vibes. And that it's a problem. Well it IS a problem.

No proof of this either, so your claim is dismissed outright.

>A problem openly, and vigorously discussed in the Ruby community.

Any proof of this? Who claims it's a problem?

>Many people have left the Ruby community because of his behavior

Looks like a loud minority of leftist activists may have left. That explains how Ruby has only gotten better since.

>many more have chosen never to come into the community because of it.

Many more have chose to join the community now that the activists are gone.

>Anyways, as per my original point, that despite the Fascist vibes from that guy

There are no Fascist vibes as shown above.

Not surprised I didn't get a response. Ten year old account wasted on some bizarre personal vendetta or virtue signal. Embarrassing.

Ironically, this attitude is quite Trumpian. I hope you're just pretending to cover the laziness of your argument.
