.to_xml defined for Arrays, but not Strings? What?

BTW, in this case there's no, repeat no, ActiveRecord involved. At times you may want to create some XML that's, horrors, not based on a model inheriting from ActiveRecord. Or even, any model at all.

If you get this worked up about finding one method in the documentation and not understanding the purpose of another, I would recommend another occupation than programming. You're bound to run into much bigger issues than these over the course of a career in this profession. It sounds like it'd be best to get out before your soul surrenders to such rage.

P.S.: For anyone in doubt, this is not acceptable behavior on the mailing list. If you're looking for help, please filter your anger out before posting.

Yeah, we really don’t appreciate this “high and mighty” attitude. If you have a problem using Rails or questions about Rails, please state them. The fact that you’re complaining about “normalize”, which is a perfectly valid and oft-used method name all through Computer Science tells me that you’re just looking for something to complain about. In that case, we don’t want you around here. So either drop the attitude or just stop posting here altogether. Thanks.
