Me neither - I am merely concerned that the particular issue is an
unspecified _personal opinion_. I see a lot of wrong in going around and
asking people to remove personal opinion in the name of a big Project.

This together with the fact that this ports page:

   https://www.freshports.org/devel/p5-Canary-Stability/

is not only full of personal opinion but, much worse, also of made-up
false claims should give you an idea of where we would be heading if we
tried to police all that.

Well, he has since pretty much clarified that he does and that the project
is fine with that, so my reading seemed to have been spot on.
