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.

It wasn't an ultimatum. Jason and I discussed it and agreed that it was
still possible. Jason didn't get upset about it the way Brian did.

OK. I confess. I am behaving this way because I think Brian's not right
for the job, and I've felt that way for at least half a year. Not right
for the job of V.P. Engineering, and not right for the job of Deity
manager.  I have made my reasons clear - he doesn't "get" the free
software thing, and the closed Deity organization he insisted on is not
the way Debian works. I tolerated this, uneasily, as long as I thought
he was getting something done.  Then I found him asleep at the wheel on
Deity. So far, I've refrained from asking him to resign from the V.P.
position or from the management position of Deity. I really think I
should remove him, but I'm waiting for any other alternatives to play
out before I do that. Maybe he'll get back to work.
