That is a bold statement, you obviously were not on USENET in the early 90s.
At the time I was using Coherent and comp.os.coherent was being flooded with trolls of Linux users, they were saying Linux was the best thing ever. Linux users were also trolling all other OS groups.
Not a single *BSD user posted a troll about Coherent.
It was so bad, when MWC folded, the Coherent Developers suggested people move to a BSD because they were at least respectful.

I still remember the 500+ page book with the shell on it.
