Although I agree that FreeBSD's availability to the public is great I
do not agree with this "you are a user, so just be happy" attitude.
If developers get pissed off by (some) user comments I might understand
that, but if they can't deal with "users" and their POVs they might
better quit being a developer to an -open- project like FreeBSD and
start developing products just for themselves.

You have developers in 'flavours'; you also have all sorts of users ;-)

Being/geeting upset is -always- ones own fault.
After all, it's only a discussion, not a war.
So why be upset about words?
