      It's not RailsConf. He's banned from that. It's his own Rails World he owns

         Oh wow, I forgot about this. That context is important. He's talking to an audience of adherents. There's something mildly fascist about that.

            Can we please not trivialise the meaning of fascist?

               > fascist

               This word literally has no meaning anymore other than: "person who's opinions I disagree with for religious reasons I don't understand"

               It's a one-word thought terminating cliche and shows one's lack of ability to think objectively or approach an argument rather than ad hominem attack the person.
