I was actually referring to the immaturity and vulgarness of Theo and his worshippers. Nowhere else do you see this kind of language or tone used (regularily) on any open source related mailing list. That's probably why people try to make them look bad, it's because they've been burned by them before. > making false claims, making up fake situations, and bringing up the > beaten horse's dusty bones? some would attribute such shenanigans > to jealousy. sure, we could just ignore such things, but, hey, it's > entertainment. Yes, everyone is jealous of OpenBSD. It's all jealousy. It has nothing to do with the fact that Theo has made a lot of enemies over the years, and scared away any potential developers with his bipolar personality. > yes, it is, and so is "shut up and hack". that's _precisely_ how > new developers are picked from the fold. just because OpenBSD is more If that was the case, OpenBSD wouldn't rely so heavily on FreeBSD/NetBSD code. I remember a while back when the alpha port died temporarily, because OpenBSD couldn't steal^H^H^H^H^Hmerge code from NetBSD's CVS anymore due to changes in the license. Of course, that was blamed entirely on NetBSD. How dare they change their license! Although the "shut up and hack" approach is good in general, one has to be open to criticism and feedback from the users. > I'm surprised you did not post a link to my post to misc@ from about > the same time about why whiners are ignored. or maybe it just makes > too much plain and obvious sense to try to troll against.

Again, I'm not here to troll. I'm simply responding to your comment. I gave a short history of my Unix background (it happened to include OpenBSD, which was the very first BSD I used, and used for a long time) in conjunction to my question as to which Linux distro I should install on my desktop. I also gave a short reason as to why I'm using NetBSD today primarily - if you didn't want to know that reason, you could've simply ignored it. I don't even know why you're so offended that I switched from OpenBSD. > your time would be better spent debunking Joseph's reply to me that > started "You are a BSD user", since that would include you. I didn't really read most of this thread. "Linux distro/xBSD xyz users suck/smell/are mean/stupid/newbies" flame wars are pretty pointless and stupid, so I try to stay out of them. _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
