And you took it ;-) --- don't read too much into his words.

IRC is the hottest flame war protocol on the planet, and
you're more likely to have large numbers of $any_type_person
on a channel with a large number of users anyway; since Linux
has more users than BSD, it makes sense to me.  Chuck said,
"Go to a Linux IRC channel with this question and watch for
something that rivals the Great Chicago Fire happen in 2 seconds."

He could have easily said "##freebsd on Freenode", but it'd
have been a smaller and cooler flame war.  He didn't say "Tux
Sucks".
