I'm not sure what "anythere" means, but by sending messages to the
mailing list, you're copying Kris and everybody else who is on the
list.

With good reason.

You're welcome to say what you want about FreeBSD.  Just find a more
appropriate channel.  Kris was just asking you to respect the charter
of the mailing list.  I've looked at about 15 messages from you, most
of them insulting, some voicing opinions that run contrary to fact,
and suggesting that you have a good overall understanding of the
project.  Given that you don't know who Kris is, it's difficult to
believe the last point.

In any case: please read the charter.  Please abide by it.  If you
don't, you're in line to become one of the select few who have ever
been banned from this list.
