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.

If you make him change it there'll be a huge argument; if not, I'm
sure lots of people will complain.

I think you should ask him to change it.  I don't think people *ought*
to be offended just by words, and indeed find it very irritating when
people complain; but some *are* offended, and IME they prove easier to
get on with if you don't continually try to wind them up.
