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.

 Most certainly not!


 And you must not be offended, my fellow Debians, for I am speaking out of
good-will towards you, if I ask whether you wish to delibarate and vote on
issues of medicine or rather heed to the advice of the doctor. Or, 
when it is time to build our houses, on taking consensus among ourselves 
on how to do build the roof rather than follow the advice of the builder. Or, 
on issues of the greatest importance for Debian, subscribe to the opinions 
of the many rather than let professional managers govern.

 Is it not always true that there is an art in everything that we do and only 
those with know-how their advice should be followed. For on each 
subject the advice comes from the one who knows, and not from the many. 
Let only those with prooven experience govern and never mind the rest.

 For this reason I ask that if any voting is taken the results should
never be published.
