> Wow, that discussion does not warm me at all to OpenBSD. A lot of those responses seemed way more abrasive than they needed to be.

It's pretty much on-brand for them. The OpenBSD project started when the founder was kicked off of the NetBSD core team, allegedly for being rude and abrasive to users. At one point, both the FreeBSD[0] and NetBSD[1] mailing lists blocked traffic from this individual because they claimed he threatened to aggressively spam their mailing lists.

Some folks are abrasive when young but grow out of it. I haven't really kept up with Theo's antics of late but have you checked into it? Not saying that kind of behavior is ok but we all "grow up" at some point. Saying as a major open source project co-founder.
