Cut the heat. IMHO it was a problem with the wording of the posting
by the OP. If he had been more diplomatic and sugar-coated his
posting, most of you would have remained silent.

See this post on the bangalore-rug list. It mentions ruby only once
and among many other skills.

Nobody cribbed.

Actually you can if  you word it carefully like the link I mentioned.

Yes, he was not smart enough to say "Python" as one of the skills in his
posting.
That is what you are cribbing about ?

Advocacy is good, it shouldn't turn into zealotry.
