title: Have i screwed up my rails console? I get verbose errors?
body: <p>When i type something like <code>person.valid?</code> in my rails console, instead of returning 'false' i get the following output:</p>
  
  <pre><code>NameError: undefined local variable or method `person' for main:Object
  from (irb):7
  from /Users/xxx/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180/gems/railties-3.0.7/lib/rails/commands/console.rb:44:in `start'
  from /Users/xxx/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180/gems/railties-3.0.7/lib/rails/commands/console.rb:8:in `start'
  from /Users/xxx/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180/gems/railties-3.0.7/lib/rails/commands.rb:23:in `&lt;top (required)&gt;'
  from script/rails:6:in `require'
  from script/rails:6:in `&lt;main&gt;'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm not sure if this is a feature i've accidentally enabled or if i've got something wrong with my install. If all of this output is not needed, how can i get rid of it?</p>
  
  <p>Cheers.</p>
