Actually that scum is hosted at wordpress.com, I'm not sure that they
would like knowing someone is changing comments without changing the
authors' names.

Also, that shit is anonymous, meaning the bastard can't even take

If OpenBSD was to have a sex scandal, I would have hoped for something more
colorful.  Ho hum.

The author isn't even lying well, much less telling the truth.

OpenBSD has mystique, a bunch of brilliant-but-prickly guys building a 
super-secure OS for their own use, everyone's heard of it but few 
actually use it, "ooh OpenBSD, that's hardcore." In a 
systemd-and-Microsoft world it starts to look something like the Man in

You can say the same for 99.9% of all open source/free software:
because they are free, in the public eye and easy to access, they
attract more attention than products you have to pay a fortune for.
Who criticises a k$ software with no source attached? This is the
downside of  "given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow".

  Hyperbole much ?

  Theo has been known to be fairly opiniated, but "physically
  attacked"?

  How can you take this guy seriously ?

If it can't spell "Functional", it probably isn't.

It's also difficult to take someone seriously when they can't spell
the words they're using, like "functional" and "definitely"
