Are you under the assumption that these are fresh-faced kids out of school who don't know how to dress themselves, let alone "launch" a web app?

You might want to go and study some LinkedIn profiles before apologizing for these guys. And as far is DHH is concerned, why would you want to steal from him in the first place. He gave his best work away for free. I'm no fan but I believe he's entitled to call these people out. In whatever tone he deems appropriate. Get used to it if you think following Curebit's steps is the way to go. It's a rough world out there.

Yet Stallman is coddled every time he calls someone "evil" and wishes them dead. Odd that.
