I have no particular axe to grind against MumbleBSD.  Even so, this is
irking me at least as much as it's irking the NetBSD folks:

This qualifies as innuendo.  If you don't beat your wife, you won't go to
jail in the cell next to O.J.'s, but if you do........

I think the reason why the MumbleBSD crowd has so much flamage is that the
author of the above quote honestly does not understand why what he said was
offensive.  I'm sure he didn't mean it the way it sounded.
