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.

Re: Brian and me

Oh good heavens. I do think you take things about 100 times too seriously.

OK - I'll look you in the eye and tell you that Debian is incapable of
following any leader that it elected. Consider your eye looked upon.

The only way to deal with this is the open development model, where
everyone knows what everyone else is doing. Everybody goes in their
own direction, and the only thing the project leader can do is try to
move the "vector sum" away from zero. It is when we closet a small group
off alone from the others that problems arise. This has happened in every
case - the old executive board, the Deity project, etc.
