It is extremely disappointing to have now seen TWO prominent #ruby community members that I admire choose to take the low road and punch down rather than stand in solidarity to hold Ruby Central accountable and find justice for the hostile takeover of Ruby Gems.

This is an escalation of conflict. Is this really the direction you want to go?

@armahillo I'm seeing a lot of "stop with the drama - just build stuff" then explicitly siding with Ruby Central. The duplicity among a very comfortable and libertarian elite is obvious.

@armahillo It's also very obvious that DHH is strawmanning critiques as 'woke' to distract from the allegations.

@shanecav LOL yes.

I am not at all surprised to hear this from DHH.

I _am_ surprised to hear this rhetoric from other community members that I've considered to be more level-headed.

This doesn't even need to be political or "woke" related at all -- objectively, RubyCentral exercised a hostile takeover, facilitated by Github user HSBT. They continue to not make any effort to reverse this "mistake".

Any post-hoc rationalization is just distraction.
