The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

Re: an appreciably toned-down and much less arrogant and grandiose draft

The wording is better, but the idea is still the same.  I stated
my reasons before, so I won't repeat them.  I think the goal of being
a "base system" is a poor one.  It is my belief that Debian should
have the goal of being the best _distribution_ available.

Any comparisons to other distributions are likely to get you flamed to
a crisp.  The message I get from this is "Red Had is a close second but
all the others are pale comparisons."
