As the web pages point out, this list is for technical discussion. It's not somewhere you go to find out what the community is like. There's already too much noise on this list, and all this is doing is contributing to it. If you want to find out what the community is like then subscribe to -chat, and read and post, or subscribe to -questions, and just read. You'll get a much better idea that way. > I'm also not big enough asshole ot put someone on a "kill-list" and is just > a reflection of a kind of conservative need to dehumanize other folks > so that your selfish comfort is "preserved". Post technical content to a technical mailing list and expect to be treated with respect. Post ill advised non technical content and expect to be treated like an idiot. As I say, feel free to join -chat to see how the FreeBSD community behaves.
