That is really sad to read! I've read your numerous commit messages with 
a warm and fuzzy feeling that my favorite OS is being constantly 
improved even in the non-trivial and hard to understand parts.

Please remember that it is better to have done _something_, even with a 
few mistakes, than to sit and whine, having accomplished nothing!

Do you really feel that what you have done for FreeBSD is so bad that 
you should put so much grief and sadness into what one/some/a few people 
have said/done? (I personally know nothing about the matter - so I can't 
comment on it further)

It's better to recognized, although in a non positive way, than it is to 
be ignored and met with a total lack interest. At least your adversaries 
think that what you have done is important enough to get upset about :-)

Please reconsider, I'm confident that you still have many valuable 
contributions to make in the future, and don't forget to ask for help 
when you need it.
