It would seem that many of us are very happy to trust OpenSSH and use it every day. As mentioned, it lets many a sysadmin sleep at night. Theo's lack of tact is easy to verify, but I figure my dollars go into supporting OpenBSD/OpenSSH. Maybe I should give my head a shake. As for Theo's statements the raise the ire of many, I choose to ignore them.

I don't think he's ever written anything like "Linus Torvalds is an idiot and all Linux users are giant poopyheads", he states what are basically technical opinions in admittedly blunt (sometimes coarse) language.
I consider that to be honesty. Obviously he's no diplomat, but calling him an "ass" might be an overstatement. Of course I've never met him in person; perhaps he does come off that way face to face.

It was the flies buzzing around that really made me angry--if you don't agree with Richard's words or actions then hey, go right ahead and say your piece, but there's no reason to make childish snipes like that.
