Maybe interesting in that context:
``Paranoia
A positive mention of DragonFly on a FreeBSD mailing list can often get
you a negative response. Now, it looks like the same attitude is there for
NetBSD. (Thanks Slashdot/BSD)
Instead of attacking the reasoning and intentions of people who raise
problems, it may be better to fix the underlying mechanical issues. If
that doesn't work, there's always fixing it yourself.''

From my personal experience, I got some very harsh replies when I dared
posting Gregory McGarry's Article[1] to some FreeBSD lists, so maybe
there's really some truth in there? Then again, I got along very well with
the few FreeBSD I know in person, and I'd hate it if that changes.
