It's not that they see it as "beneath themselves". It's simply that
this is a forum for Rails issues, and only for Rails issues. A simple
issue with the Ruby debugger is off topic here. Please ask your
question where it is on topic -- it will get seen by Ruby experts who
are familiar with the debugger but don't necessarily use Rails.

No. It came up *in the course of* Rails development, but it is not a
Rails-related question as you've presented it.

ActiveScaffold is dead simple to use. Perhaps if you were to ask
questions about the problems you're actually having, we could help.

In other words, please explicitly ask the questions you actually want
answered.

It might. But your proximate problem is not with Rails.
