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.

   On the one hand, I think we all find word-policing distasteful.  On the
   other hand, it could be asked what benefit the author sees in using that
   name.  Seems to me like a Howard Stern approach to software marketing --
   it has more potential to make a splash than a contribution.

I agree with Susan, Guy, and Dale.  Whether or not the change gets made in
this case, eventually we'll have things that people will object to (e.g.,
sex(1), 'fortune -o', the Bible verse package, etc.), and we need to have some
kind of foundation for not caving in to this kind of Grundyism.
