Some of us have been answered by the author of the blog..

As of April 29th, the hordes at forums.freebsd.org have discovered and read this blog. Instead of listing to what has been posted, they have decided to instead hurl unconstructive insults which we should have guested that would be the typical pro-BSD idiot response.

I felt a bit ignored as he didn't address my post. Then I saw that he changed the domain name and everything! Guess I wasn't ignored then. :p
 
We are even shocked that you dedicated your 9.0-release of FreeBSD to the memory of Steve Jobs and not Dennis Ritchie (of who you owe so much more to). Look at Fedora by contrast, they released Fedora 16 in memory of Dennis Ritchie not Steve Jobs.

And:
The FreeBSD Project dedicates the FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE to the memory of Dennis M. Ritchie, one of the founding fathers of the UNIX[tm] operating system. It is on the foundation laid by the work of visionaries like Dennis that software like the FreeBSD operating system came to be. The fact that his work of so many years ago continues to influence new design decisions to this very day speaks for the brilliant engineer that he was.

May he rest in peace.

A big LOL.

Very unlikely. Although I often don't quite agree with Stallman (especially when it concerns opinions regarding Windows) one can't accuse him of contradicting his own statements or being plain out abusive (in an incoherent way). At least to my knowledge, I don't follow everything he does mind you.

Oh I know ... I did try to ensure that my post however was fully compliant with "Poe's law" with the inclusion of the smiley at the end.

As a developer for more than twenty years now, Stallman has always irked me with his heavily socialist talking, but supply-side actions. He's made a good living for himself suing others who simply wanted to get paid for their work. I'm all for "free software" and such but it's kind of a raw deal when there isn't free food, free rent and a free car to go along with all that as part of the deal. :)

Stallman gets paid after all ... shouldn't developers?

Best is to either address its contents seriously, so stand above the level he's on, or even better: ignore the whole thing in its entirety.

Like I'm interested in debating a troll, other than ridiculing him. Please. You're the one taking it seriously, it seems.

...we’ve tried out the system (and suffered for it), experienced abuse on forum...

Aha! I was right. This is a guy who couldn't make it work, came to the forum but still couldn't figure it out, and now is trying to blame us and FreeBSD for his failure.
