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 think that most developers voted solid support for the
 concepts of free software.  Bill gates has the most popular software
 distribution, we have the finest quality. These terms are by no means
 synonymous.

	I begin to repeat myself, and hence I'm bowing out of this
 discussion until I have something new to say.
