Giles on Rails:

I've been coding Ruby near-exclusively for years now. On the one hand, I want to tell you we're not all like that. On the other hand, RailsConf is just weeks away, and I'm dreading it so much that words fail me, because even though we're not all like that, an awful lot of us are exactly like that. I'm not at all surprised to find idiots defending the presentation, and that shameful, ridiculous unpology the presenter delivered is par for the course.
I got a similar unpology from another Rails guy after I threatened to kick his ass at a conference. This guy and his partner do a podcast, and in one episode, they had included an mp3 of a black man using racist epithets, including that mother of all racist epithets which starts with the letter N. This other Rails guy was at this conference. He's black. He had been listening to this podcast with his three-year-old daughter playing in the room. She asked him, what's that word mean, Daddy? and he didn't really want to get into that discussion at that
