I'm no expert on the deeper issues surrounding FreeBSD development and advocacy, but Brett Glass is certainly an interesting psychological phenomenon. I glanced through the thread on -security, out of curiosity. For once, Brett said something I agree with. There is a real problem when people attribute security problems in ports to FreeBSD itself. I don't know the solution and don't intend to jump in with suggestions now. But it looks like Brett doesn't know when he's made his point clear. He can't stand disagreement. If people disagree, he repeats himself. If people continue to disagree, his answer is to get more and more personal in his criticisms of them. Also, no matter what the original topic of the thread was, Brett will always find a way to bring Richard Stallman's name into it, somewhere, somehow. Psychiatrists probably have a term for this condition, but I don't know what it is. I don't doubt Brett's sincerity in raising all these "issues", but I can fully sympathise with the people who filter him out... Rahul.
