I wasn't expecting such a nice writeup. Worth a read.

The Ruby community has been eating itself alive since almost the beginning, but it is sad to see the short-sighted destruction of trust and connection that this has had.

Eh, it's a messy write-up. The article's stream of consciousness is hard to follow. Too much detail in some areas, not enough in others.

It's true Ruby Central was a fiasco and the maintainers should have been treated better. But the author's investigation misses important elements like the "culture war" on both sides. That seems to be prime motivation for everyone involved, given the flames raging in the comments below.

Your critique of the author's writing style doesn't seem like your strongest argument.

Treated better as in ... not removed from their own projects? Treated better as in... not kicked out of things they built by someone else who has something to gain?

Treated better is not the phrase to describe what should have happened here.
