False. Here's what actually happened:

   * Someone had trouble with the FreeBSD port of daemontools.
   * I explained that the port didn't work correctly.
   * I recommended following the official installation instructions.
   * I recommended complaining to the port author.

This does not mean that I have a problem with ports. It means that I
have a problem with _broken_ ports.
