Well I have met him (Theo) in person several times, and I think he's a
pretty stand up guy. I've never known him to lie, but insults and
threats usually flow freely when he feels the behaviour of others
warrants it.
I don't know you, Han, but you have been on this list long enough to
know that most of the time your opinion is in the minority, sometimes
even a minority of one. There's nothing wrong with that, you are allowed
your opinions in those places that value freedom, and many of us on this
list come from such places. However, given the long list of threads
where your opinion is not shared by most of us, you may want to think
about self-imposing a limit of technical discussion only while on
OpenBSD lists. This is Theo's sandbox (I know there are others in the
project, but Theo is the manager, lets not start that argument again),
which means he is gracious enough to allow you to remain even though he
has made it obvious that he doesn't appreciate your opinions. If nothing
else, he is true to his word about being open. Most others would have
banned you by now.
I don't want to discuss this with you because there is nothing positive
that would come from such a discussion. I'm just trying to point out
that there is nothing being gained any time you clash with the list.
Hopefully you will see reason in restricting the content of your posts.
If not you will simply be added to my block list, as I suspect others
have already done, which will not benefit you in any way.
