I don't think that anyone should be forced to contribute at gunpoint, nor should "contribute, dammit!" be the response to any suggestion that FreeBSD could stand a little improvement, though it's certainly not a bad idea to occasionally suggest that contributions of time or money are the surest way to promote the swift advancement of FreeBSD. As in so many things, it's the degree of moderation and balance which really counts. Scream for something to be implemented and you'll be flamed, not complimented on the intelligence of your constructive criticism. Abruptly tell someone to go "do it yourself!" in response to every constructive criticism and people will also understandably distance themselves from such a rude bunch of developers, not try to help them in their task.
