Oops. Seems I erred a bit there - I was trying to make a general point but dirtied it up by applying it to you personally, and in error, obviously.
In my defense, I did say "if he finds that site offensive in some way". Re-reading your blog post, you don't mention the word offensive - I had assumed so, since you singled out that site as "nasty", but obviously not. Yeah, it is kind of boorish and try-hard, I agree! I guess my hair trigger impulse to attack anyone who finds "offense" in swear words misfired pretty badly in this case :/
Anyway, sorry about that. Oh, and by the way, I think any Ruby programmer worth their salt has heard of you, so quit with the "virtually unknown" false modesty .. ; )
On the contrary, I can certainly appreciate humour, including augmented forms in which swearwords are used for effect. I love jokes and humour in general, and I indulge in humour myself, in one form or another, most of the time. You place me in the awkward position of having to claim my own qualities, but most people who know me consider me a hilarious person. I also find no basis in your assumption about my self-importance (my humour is often self-deprecating) or my attracting undesired jokes. I don't believe in fact, that I get hassled more than most other prolific bloggers.
Your own comment made me laugh for its gross misrepresentation of who I am. And I wonder how much this is due to you reading too much into my post, without knowing me, and how much I accidentally came across as a uptight person with my "serious" post.
To help counterbalance this skewed perception I invite you to read a couple of other articles of mine: http://antoniocangiano.com/2008/04/01/announcing-ruby-on-cra... and http://antoniocangiano.com/2008/09/09/a-status-update/.
PS: The Adobe UI blog is hilarious, but I feel it's cheapened by trying too hard. I think it would have much more comedic value if it took the sarcastic "Dear Richard" (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/travelnews/4344890/Virgin-...) approach, but that's just me. This wasn't the focal point of my article of course, but rather a, perhaps weak, incipit.
