I had that thought as well. And honestly I'm not entirely sure which version they were running. By now the community has learned a bunch of lessons and we take some of those for granted.
Still, the guys over at Twitter could have said "We couldn't scale this technology given our requirements and current knowledge so we went with what we are comfortable with, and thats Java." Instead, they blamed Rails. And now any Rails hater brings up Twitter in a flame war. Even though it was some 4-5 years ago.
Twitter is still the largest Rails site on the web as far as I know, so anyone who says that Twitter hates Rails is either being taken out of context or confused.
