No.  It is bad to be obnoxious, insulting, argumentative and
dismissive.  Please save that for the ADHD/Apsberger Syndrome list
at misc at openbsd.org.

Compare:

"XXXX is not really an OpenBSD issue."

and

"XXXX is not really an OpenBSD issue, you mindless piece of shit,
and why are you bothering decent people with your stupid drivel?"

While both examples convey the same information, the not-so-sub subtext
in the second version is not suitable in this environment.
