Do you really feel that what you have done for FreeBSD is so bad that you should put so much grief and sadness into what one/some/a few people have said/done? (I personally know nothing about the matter - so I can't comment on it further) It's better to recognized, although in a non positive way, than it is to be ignored and met with a total lack interest. At least your adversaries think that what you have done is important enough to get upset about :-) Please reconsider, I'm confident that you still have many valuable contributions to make in the future, and don't forget to ask for help when you need it.
