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.

Actually, I see nothing wrong with your original stance, and the fact that 
you changed it after some debate.  This does belongs in a public forum.  That
public forum doesn't have to be debian-user, of course.  It could be a
forum who's audience is basically "developers only + other interested 
parties".
But it would be public, and we could have a public mail archive of it too.

I think you are confusing conducting debate in public with making official 
announcements in public.

When I watch my local city council, the Canadian House of Commons or the 
U.S. Senate or Congress on TV - I see tonnes of bickering, name-calling, 
and other not-so-nice stuff.  Eventually, they work things out and pass a 
law.  Nobody confuses what was said during the debate with what was written 
into the law.  As long as there is a clear distinction between the two, 
there isn't a problem.  Perhaps your dilemma is that you don't want to
make a distinction between your decisions as leader, and your general
correspondence to the mailing lists?  That is confusing.

I still contend that there is no reason we need to do all this stuff in
private.

Cheers,
