Yet you still believe that it's ok for guests to tell the hosts how to
behave in their home.
Your analogy doesn't go far enough. Better: guests in a home being
asked for contributions and also being insulted, both by the hosts.
Amazing. What culture are you from?
One that values civility.
Another take on this is that you are sliming your host (meaning
developers), his/her friends, and all people who benefit from your
host's work because you did not like what some unknown random person
with a gmail address was saying in a public mailing list. And all this
to support someone who demanded direct handholding from Theo and was
complaining when politely asked to use the web!!!
Regardless of your standards of etiquette that anyone may have violated,
it is a shame that you would drop financial support for the OpenBSD
project. It is especially unfair because there is nothing a developer
can do to stop unknown persons from saying whatever they want. Your
public statements about withdrawal of financial support and use of other
OS'es etc., are more rude than anything that you faced on this mailing
list.
