If you don't mind users using non-free software, you shouldn't be
putting the 'Free. ' in 'Free. Functional. Secure.'; You shouldn't be
fighting those blob vendors and call them nasty names; Rather,
probably document how to use such drivers and firmware 'faster'. Then
you shouldn't be making a claim that 'OpenBSD supports openness'. If
you can manipulate your reasons for making this ethical, you shouldn't
be calling others names. And you shouldn't bring back ethics' dead
body around your neck.

And the rest who do should avoid red herring arguments and accept what
they are doing. In other words, they should say: 'I am wrong. I will
fix the problem at my end. Your turn now.' I don't see anybody doing
it. Don't you see how you're not doing anything but complaining? It
doesn't make this any different.
