Zed's the enemy of crap. Whether it's inconsistency in languages, poorly created enterprise software development practices (The ACL is dead), or egotism and leeching from others work without acknowledgement (Rails is a Ghetto).
If I pissed him off, I'd listen to why he's pissed off, because he's good at identifying crap.

There. Fixed that for you.
Zed is has a really, amazingly, big hat. Too bad there is next to no cowboy under it.
I may share your position on Zed, but people here generally dislike comments that don't add to the discussion, or are blatant attacks on someone; your post fits both perhaps?
