The first time I heard cult mentioned was when people were complaining
about open bsd being a cult of open bsd followers, or mean rude cult
members.
Found it... Several instances of GNU followers accusing OpenBSD as a cult:
"If everyone on the planet outside your own *cult* calls you an ass, you
are either the messiah or an ass. My money is on the latter."
"Outside the *cult* of OpenBSD no one else sees it that way."

This was also the same thread where a GNU follower claimed that a
hilarious "did you?" question was an insult. The same hypocrite went on
to insult the person who asked the hilarious "did you" question. The
person accusing a person of insult, was an insulter himself.. hence the
hypocrisy and irony.
Irony and hypocrisy are actually closely related. Take note!
