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.

Well, I'm not sure I agree.  Not to get into national politics, but as
an example, if you're willing to concede that America is something
like a representative democracy, it still more or less ignores
ridiculous claims against any President unless it's valid/serious
enough that the vast majority of the Congress (hopefully supported by
the voters) decides they agree.

If you don't have some sort of threshold for refusing to pursue
ridiculous issues, one nut can bring the whole undertaking to a
screeching halt.  Of course you probably need some way to determine
that the "majority" agree that the issue is ridiculous.

Anyway, this is mostly academic, and probably doesn't help us at all
right now, so I'll shut up.
