I really don't want to get into an argument, but I don't think that's particularly fair. Lets face it, The three *BSD groups are basically three groups of people who have different (enough) goals, interests and methods. The three groups just don't really get on well together and things get rough when toes start getting stepped on. Whenever the mudslinging dies down, we start getting code sharing, people co-habitating multiple groups at once, etc without things getting too strained. This all goes out the window every time somebody starts a public fight that gets personal, and when the dust has settled we discover we're right back to square one and the only winners are the Linux and Microsoft type folks. We all have our personality quirks that we have to work around. Lets end this here, let things cool down a bit and see what can be salvaged before it gets really ugly.
