It's part of a culture in some parts of the world to stone people to death for various actions you would not consider a crime. So the whole "it's part of the culture" thing is not a very satisfactory argument. Cultures evolve, and this is probably why you can enjoy your life the way it is. NetBSD doesn't have to show any support to the parts of the culture it doesn't like. The Internet offers many sources to decipher those acronyms so there is no need to give them any more credit than they are due. Freedom of expression means you can enjoy playing Cards against Humanity, but it doesn't mean it should be played with just anybody. Also, core@ is the technical lead of the project. This is more a membership@ thing. I actually looked at the bylaws yesterday if there was a way for the Foundation to revoke your membership but since your behaviour is just toxic and not illegal, there is little it could do. It surely is difficult to define what the NetBSD project likes or dislikes, but considering the feedback you have received until now, I would say it is pretty clear those commits were unwanted. Please consider how respectful said feedback has been so far, and while I am not worried about NetBSD, you should think about what it means for your own reputation in the long run. -- Quentin Garnier - cube%cubidou.net@localhost "See the look on my face from staying too long in one place [...] every time the morning breaks I know I'm closer to falling" KT Tunstall, Saving My Face, Drastic Fantastic, 2007.
