The "English major" Zed mentioned is a friend and co-worker of mine. Zed and him has had some beef going way back.

Kevin is no script kiddy, I can guarantee you that. His 20% time project at Powerset is contributing to Rubinius. I don't know how many people here are hacking on the next generation of Ruby VMs, but I wouldn't call him a script kiddy.

I'm not calling the dude a script kiddie either. I was pointing out the more general pattern of the sentiments Zed has shown in his posts.

Kevin's obviously done a lot of useful work for the Ruby and Rails communities and I respect him on that basis the same way I respect Zed for his open source contributions.

Didn't say he was a script kiddy. I'm glad that there are people who will stick up for him.
