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: Users Council & Debian (linux) counter ideas

I think we are of like mind here.  Besides Gates' lemmings don't even
know we're here, much less go to trouble to vote on issues for us.

Joking aside, as I remember RMS's questions for emacs development
decision votes were VERY carefully crafted.  We can be equally careful
about how things are couched.  Besides, I'm not suggesting that such
popularity votes are good for anything but "market" perception
readings.

If we did such a thing I bet some other distributions would follow our
results page closely.
