I would like to request that the group moderator take ninja off the group.=
=C2=A0 His original statement was an insult to all women on the list, and h=
is subsequent "apologies" and posturing=C2=A0indicate that he just Doesn't =
Get It, as has been commented earlier.=C2=A0=20



Making abusive statements and then calling them a joke simply doubles the a=
buse.=C2=A0 Apologies that start I'm sorry and then go on with but... are n=
ot apologies, but indicate a basic lack of respect for the dignity of other=
s and a disgusting self-righteous attitude.=C2=A0=20



Taking ninja off the list would put a stop to this flame war.=20

I think we should take this discussion off the list, because it is not=20
about Rails.=20

Anybody has problem with me, please send e-mail privately to me, or please=
=20
stop spam the list.=20

I am not in the Boston area now, in fact about several thousands miles=20
from Boston. However, any coward who dares to say something to my face,=20
please feel free send a name and a address to my private mail.=20

If there are enough cowards, I might consider to buy an airplane ticket to=
=20
Boston, just to see the cowards cowering in front of me.=20
