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.

	Sorry, no. They just have sway over what resides in the US FTP
 sites, not what we in Debian think belongs in the main Debian
 distribution. These are two very different things.

	If Master were shifted to Denmark (or France) we should have
 different things in the main directory, but what belongs in the main
 Debian distribution should rise above local parochialisms. We
 certainly should not base our policy on laws in, say, Libya. (I know
 we in the United states believe in a variation of ``we are the people
 choosen by god, guardians of the free world and the known universe,
 so by gar, we are special'', but I don't think it really applies).

	I also think that our policy should not be skewed to give
 special preference to the CD distributors in Iraq or the US.
