I'm not taking sides on this, but I did want to point out the irony of
Mr. Carucci's criticism of Ruby. In what, to me, appears to be a
message that should be sent personally, he criticises her for sending
personal messages publicly. Then again, perhaps I have a different idea
of what should be considered a personal message. I do know, however,
that if I'm to be taken to task for something I do, I much prefer it be
sent to me in private, and I prefer to send it in privacy.
Am I the only one that feels that way?
