Where did I judge the FreeBSD community?

Probably where you said: > If this is what the FreeBSD community is like, I want nothing to do with them.

  >If “If you break the law, then you go to jail” is not “you broke the law, you are going to jail”. I didn’t judge the entire FreeBSD community based on this blog post.

    Fun game, let's keep playing. Where did they say you did?

      I'm not "playing a game". "Feld" purports to be a FreeBSD ports committer. Someone with commit rights on a major project would know how to properly file issues and work with other maintainers. But "feld" doesn't seem to know how to do that. Perhaps "feld" had a bad day, or maybe him and the rest of the FreeBSD ports contributors/maintainers just operate in this way, I don't know. >Where did they say you did? They said it in the part where you got all confused and responded to me.

        You're not playing a game? Could have fooled me. What you originally responded to above: > I don't think it's fair to judge the whole FreeBSD community by one person. So they just like, gave us a fun fact, right? Conversely, I was also apparently just speculating: > Probably where you said So many things are possible when we don't want to be found wrong. Including pretending that figurative speech only exists when it's convenient. Otherwise, I really don't see what would be so hard in understanding why throwing an "if" at the start would still lead to people taking what you said the way they did. For the record, contrary to your assertion, even your example is affected by this: > If you break the law, then you go to jail If you posted this (and even only just this) under a random thread, people would think you're accusing someone (whoever the given thread is most about) to be somehow guilty of some untold crimes and/or that some chatbot got loose. I hope you can appreciate how people would be absolutely correct to think that way.
