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.

Eric will be pleased to know that the "bizarre" model for documentation
development was used to write the guidelines.  The skilled bizarre
manager, Bruce Perens, led the effort.  And I recall that an early
draft of the guidelines were criticized by one Eric S. Raymond.  His
and countless others' comments were directly responsible for the final
version.
