This is mainly addressed to comp.lang.ruby; I'm just including
comp.lang.python because that's where this started:

Y'know, those of you in the Ruby world who make a point of going around
trashing other languages are probably doing more to hurt the acceptance
of Ruby over the long haul than anything else.  It's *rude*.  I was
almost interested enough in Ruby at one point to check it out, but I
have to say that the Attitude I've seen so far is even worse than the
Perlers.

It'd be real nice if the level-headed Ruby people restrained the
hotheads.
