Oh them. That's just because you're so funny :-)

It's obvious that you're trying, but it doesn't come across as a
threat, just amusing. You should see the kind of jokes about you that
circulate in private email. Some of us are even quite concerned
for your health.
Everyone knows you're behaving like a sociaopathic troll who's short on
sleep and a few other things, and that it's just because you're bored
and feel like a silly little man sometimes. Nobody in their right mind
would ever take you seriously. So don't worry, you won't make any
enemies here, we'll look after you.

Yes, I agree, FreeBSD doesn't deserve your loyalty! Send me your
address in private mail and I'll send you my Linux CDs. I've also
got a list of Linux contacts to start you off, and I'll pick out
all the fun ones who are easily trolled (that's most of them).
