Y'know, I understand the IRC individual is not an official representative of FreeBSD, BUT, he is using the FreeBSD name and pissing people off. Is this just something that has to be tolerated? Is there no recourse for this type of situation? This person, James, gets whizzed on in the name of FreeBSD and when he complains, he gets the same kinda response you get when you drop by a person's house and their cute little 2 year old whizzes on your pants leg: "Oh, that happens!". The big diff is this is a huge organization saying, "Oh well, that kinda thing happens..." and the whizzer is not some 2 year old who's not potty trained yet. The FreeBSD name is trademarked and copyrighted, right?
