Nope. I've merely commented that they might be wrong when they've 
trashed FreeBSD. That's all it takes to get their guns trained on you.

Sorry, Jordan, but your denial -- which you express by labeling my 
perception of the situation as "invective" -- doesn't do anything to
change the situation. Fact is, the Linux camp has no intention of "bombing 
FreeBSD for peace." It wants to destroy it in the name of the Holy GPL,
to which it is a threat.
