The occasional rude behavior is the nature of irc, you will see the same thing on linux channels too. I personally have had many more negative experience when dealing with linux users than freebsd users. Generally #freebsd on freenode tends to be pretty good... as long as you bother reading stuff and then asking questions... if some one points you at a piece of material read it and if you still have questions, then ask... some questions will also go unanswered because no one knows or no one cares enough answer it... this is especially true for odd questions...
