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.

This attitude is killing debian.  If you were being sarcastic, then what
did you intend to communicate?  There's no single, correct "opposite" to
assume.

We've tried a stronger form, and it failed.  Trying a weaker form is not
more likely to work.

This works for you, this works for me - but assuming all debian users
will do this, reduces debian's user base a LOT.

Actually, testing the releases well doesn't prevent you from using
debian the way you've described.  It does however allow many people to
use debian who couldn't (or wouldn't) otherwise.
