In your first mail, you simply asked why OpenBSD made that policy decision. In answer, a bunch of people (many developers) supplied clear answers. Without insulting you. All the answers politely articulated the reasons behind the decision. We were not talking about your mother; you brought that up yourself. You, sir, are the one bringing unrelated junk discussion to the table to pick a fight. And in doing so, you are attacking those people. Being too clear in answers and explanations for the policy decision is now an insult? I see no insults in any of the replies. Insult is only implied in your mails.
