So there I was, on this website, and I was talking with a number of OpenBSD users about issues I was having, and suddenly, one of the Developers of a piece of OpenBSD Software said I was "slandering" OpenBSD, when all I did was state some shortcomings (I would just as readily say the same about Linux, but, like Linux, I think it's a cool OS [though I DEFINITELY prefer Linux more..... 
]) I was just trying to offer constructive criticism, and not calling the OS BAD..... And he also implied that I was clueless, and didn't know that HE was the author of the Software I was having issues with..... I stated that it was a Bug, and since it was written in Perl, Perl graciously told me about the lines the errors were on..... He said there was nothing wrong with it (at the time he typed that, I did indeed that the [definite] Bug was fixed.....) He sarcastically said (it seemed as if he was being so) to show him the alleged "Bug" (this is paraphrased, but you know what he said..... ) He was a total jerk, and I won't touch OpenBSD with a ten-foot-pole now..... It's still a good OS..... But when someone who plays a pivotal role in OpenBSD's Development is rude to you, it kinda' chases you away from said OS when someone is being mean..... I know Linus can be a jerk sometimes, but he's probably a nicer person than THIS guy..... You ask Linus about a potential Bug, and the Linux community will very likely fix it..... Finally, a problem I have with OpenBSD is that it will. NOT. Use any GPL/GPL-variant Software in it's base System, or in it's Repos..... This basically, very much so, hinders the OS, effectively removing a leg and an eye, so-to-speak..... I think I'll stick with the other *BSDs as I branch out my Computer/Programming skills to have alongside Linux..... FreeBSD is better than OpenBSD, yet doesn't have some of the Hardware Support that Windows or Linux has (for now, I hope), and NetBSD, where OpenBSD was Forked from, seems to be better, but I have yet to try it out.... Thanks for listening to my venting, guys..... I know there are a lot of jerks in the Linux Community, but I'm glad I'm part of ONE section that's full of kind people..... Here's to the future of Free, Open Source Software!!.....
