I (and presuambly most other developers) do not like wasting time
having endless discussions. This is summarized as "shut up and hack".

considering the tone of your emails there probably was reason to be.
But if friendliness is a required feature of your OS and/or OS
developers, then indeed OpenBSD might not be for you.
