I don't think this kind of language belongs to the list either.
While some people that contribute to mono may not care about free
software and only care about the technical result, many contributors
certainly _do_ care about freedom and code sharing. And the people
that wrote manifestos and support with words the ideas shared by many of
us are just as important as people that write code in the free software
and open source communities.

There should be no place in this list for disdain of other people's
projects. People have different ideas, just live with it and try to
work together if possible.
