<RubyPanther> I got an off-by-one-hundred-trillions error, wtf is with that
<RubyPanther> trillionth
<shevy> what are you writing
<shevy> a ruby laser
<zenspider> RubyPanther: you don't ever use assert_equal with floats
<RubyPanther> zenspider: what makes you think it is a float?
<zenspider> because BigDecimal doesn't inspect like that
<zenspider> http://p.zenspider.com/test_troll.rb.html
<banisterfiend> zenspider: do u think that RubyPanther has a brain the size of a lemon and two bug-eyes that stick out on stalks with no more feeling in them than the eyes of a crab
<RubyPanther> How is that a "troll?" You should apologize for name-calling
<RubyPanther> And for the record, it is not two floats
<RubyPanther> I mean that is the real kicker of it, My joke was actually mildly funny, _and_ your complaint was self-important but wrong.
<zenspider> banisterfiend: new zealand trolls look like that?
<banisterfiend> zenspider: RubyPanther is one of yours, some flavor of american
<zenspider> heh
<zenspider> still... odd imagery 
<roadkith> zenspider is american?
<RubyPanther> No, Americans are much more polite.
<roadkith> superficially ;)
* banisterfiend sets mode: +stfu RubyPanther
<zenspider> hah
<RubyPanther> roadkith: it would sure be a start
<RubyPanther> It people would at least act on the surface like they have respect for others, imagine what a nice community we would have! Not Matz-level nice, but at least not raging cyber-bully nice like it is now.
<banisterfiend> RubyPanther: maybe ppl dont like you because you're actually a dick
<RubyPanther> banisterfiend: maybe people who are dicks don't like me, because I ask them to show basic respect?
<zenspider> big difference between "raging cyber-bully" and "not suffering fools lightly"
<RubyPanther> I only ask for the level of basic respect you would show to another person in a cafe, I am not asking you to be as nice as you would be expected to be at a RUG or LUG or whatever
<RubyPanther> zenspider: how am I fool, when I made a joke and you missed it because you believed you somehow knew what the types were? (you were wrong)
<RubyPanther> And then you make the cyber-bully counter joke where you call names with a fake error.
<zenspider> for starters, basic grammar and/or typing
<RubyPanther> You're complaining about "basic grammar" in a sentence that is uncapitalized and missing basic punctuation? Gimme a break, people do not speak in perfect grammar. Including you!
<ryanf> capitalization and punctuation are not grammar
<ryanf> pretty weak insult though imo
<RubyPanther> Of course it is weak, bully sauce is always weak.
<banisterfiend> RubyPanther: you've got to stop this whole 'bully' thing, you sound like a 14 year old school girl writing letters to the school magazine
<ryanf> or zed
<RubyPanther> This is a public channel, the official Ruby help and discussion channel, I think I have every right to ask not to be bullied, every time it happens.
<RubyPanther> Having a clique that does it as a group lately doesn't make it okay, or make it wrong for me to complain.
<RubyPanther> Matz is nize, so please be at least a little nice yourself!
<zenspider> the thing is... we're tired of your whining. you're not being bullied. you're self-martyring instead. 
<zenspider> I don't put up with your bullshit
<zenspider> that's hardly bullying
<RubyPanther> Imagine being the person who receives bullying repeatedly, to them it might also seem like there are too many teenagers around.

<banisterfiend> RubyPanther: sup
<banisterfiend> :P
<zenspider> maybe he'll cool off... I doubt it... but maybe
<oddmunds> i don
<oddmunds> i don't really follow your drama, but nobody has the _right_ to any respect.
<zenspider> Even _I_ don't follow my drama :P
<RubyPanther> That is a hint you have too much.
