1. Ruby != Ryan, Eric, and Luis 2. Looks to me like they took a lot of time giving you constructive feedback, albiet abrasive. Take the feedback, stay calm, and keep trying. Or, if that isn't possible, contribute to a Ruby project where your commits don't have to be reviewed by these people. They aren't always the nicest, but they have worked on RubyGems a lot so you should take their suggestions unless you can make a REALLY good argument otherwise. 3. Ryan and Eric often handle conflict and criticism by not responding at all (which is funny as hell, unless it's you). You should feel lucky you got all this detailed feedback ;) -- Chad _______________________________________________ Rubygems-developers mailing list http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubygems Rubygems-developers@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rubygems-developers
