My procmail configuration is currently rather broken, and as a result, my normal filters are not in place. Thus, your email has reached me. Brett, you are the only individual whose email I have *ever* filtered to /dev/null. *Ever*. I have taken issue with a number of your emails in public and in private, and in every case, you have turned a blind eye and figured out various ways of contorting my email and interpreting it far outside the realm that reality allows mere mortals. Your ability to twist, ignore, and misinterpret astounds me. On a number of occasions, I've considered creating an annotated catalog of the ways you have disgraced yourself (and FreeBSD by forced association) so that I could refer others to it and hopefully lessen the damage you cause to the FreeBSD community. Normally, behavior such as yours wouldn't concern me, but you have made a strong effort to portray yourself as a voice that speaks for the FreeBSD community, and by doing so, you have caused significant damage to that community. In the end, I decided that the best course of action was to filter your email to /dev/null with extreme prejudice, and on a number of occasions I've advised others to do the same. Brett, you have managed to be a serious detriment to the FreeBSD community in my opinion, and in the opinion of many others with whom I have discussed your actions. There you have it, Brett, in no uncertain terms. If history is any indicator, you won't grasp how condemning this email is of your actions.
