I'm still not sure what you're taking as criticism. Nothing I've said
was intended that way, nor should it be read that way. If you feel that
you've been criticized by others in the manner you describe, you should
probably take it up with them on an individual basis.

My experience of FreeBSD as a community is that we tend to be both less
critical of users, and less tolerant of it. Especially when compared to
other communities that I've interacted with.
