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.

I, for one, agree completely with Mike.

In the past, I had the impression that Bruce led. In the last month or so,  
however, the impression was increasingly one of dictating without any  
consultation.

Bruce blew up about the developers.

I'm pretty sure several developers were quite short of blowing up about  
Bruce. I certainly was.

This thing was definitely mutual. The fun was going out of Debian. That's  
bad for a project like this one.
