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.
