            Bug ID: 213554
           Summary: I am done with FreeBSD after 20+ years.
           Product: Services

I know I am not alone, and having dealt with the already unfavorable situation
of using a small-minority UN*X system for 20+ years, thru often difficult
times, I AM FINISHED.

I used FreeBSD 1.x, 2.x, 4.x, 9.3, and after finding a need for a functional
web-browser (which I don't really blame FreeBSD for - since it seems the entire
web has become a massive corporatized/monopolized overly complex
total-information-control POS), I tried the 11.x series, and have seen enough
of the changes in personal and their personalities to say "good-bye" for good.

At first, I used FreeBSD because, at the time, I was developing embedded
systems, with a background in Aeronautics and Chemistry, areas with a high
degree of intelligence and precision, and FreeBSD development in the early days
seemed to have come with the assurance of a quality product made by people
highly skilled and knowledgeable in the field of UN*X operating systems, an
area which offered the only real hope to the average PC user in having a decent
computer - it was either that, or a MacIntosh or MS Windows 3.1 and DOS, which
were dismal alternatives.

And I was very pleased with FreeBSD up to 4.11, but felt uncomfortable with
various decisions and changes in personel after that, and stayed away until
9.3, when I finally decided to try to upgrade.  But in that time, I
interestingly met many old Apple II hackers from the early late 70s/early 80s,
some of which were harrassed by the DOJ/FBI and served time in federal prison
for really silly things, nonsense, laughable things (computer/hacking related).
 But those were the days of fairly conservatively minded people with
conservative principles founded in freedom-based reasoning and intelligent
understandings of the nature of govt/corps and the world even so.  Some of
those same people now belong to various underground organizations because of
the evil they have dealt with in exercising integrity in a world of TV-trained
and indoctrinated morons. 

But now, it seems that FreeBSD has been taken over by the left-wing of the
ultra-liberal wing, and it has become childish, full of trannies and queers and
a whole parade of assholes that really have no business in a serious enough
organization where competant inviduals can provide a quality UN*X-like system,
so fuck it - good luck FreeBSD - as the country and world go, so will FreeBSD
go, even faster.  You're really finished, despite being built on the many hours
of arduous work of some of the greatest minds in the world.  When you're led by
decay and decadence, you rot and go to hell, and that's my prediction for the
BSDs which have, apparently, been taken over by leftist and immature
mentalities which place higher regards toward sexuality than the production of
quality and innovative code.

11.0-RELEASE wasn't even worthy of a RELEASE by any stretch of the imagination.
It was a complete botch, not even alpha quality.  Worse than anything Microsoft
ever provided to the public - which is a serious indictment, considering that
FreeBSD has now shown that it is far worse than what it was designed to
surpass, and originally did surpass.
