Quick interlude from my sabbatical, because new DHH full-on Nazi shit dropped on 37signals' blog. (I'm not linking to it.)
Anyone associating with this guy can go fuck themselves.
Especially you, Ruby on Rails Core Team, and you people who collaborate with him at conferences.
Fuck you, forever.
"But this is unfair to the core team!"
Dude, they chose of their own free will to collaborate with a Nazi.
If course the code itself isn't racist.
This is besides the point.
The core team, by their refusal to act and expel this guy, enable him and give him a platform.
Not only does he also post about programming on the same blog his disgusting racist tirades are on, he keeps keynoting at Rails conferences.
If you don't get why having a person like that a member of your community, or worse, being a leader in your community is bad–then you should take a step back and think about this really hard.
I just tracked it down. My God, and I’m an atheist, what a clown, what an ignoramus.
@francis Oh yeah, that hurts my brain. I want to talk about it, but I also don't want to signal boost it at all so I'm gonna leave it right where it is: in the stupid half of the Internet.
