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.

So why are we happy with a distribution that combines Debian with a 
commercial X server, and unhappy with a distribution that combines
Debian with a non-free graphical library?

I think the reason is that KDE is so close to being free software,
without quite reaching it.  This episode reminds me of the scene
in "Life of Brian" where the People's Front of Judea is fighting
the Judean People's Front in Pilate's palace.  (Did I get the
names right?)

I think we should be fighting the Romans instead.

P.S. Note the creative use of "we" in my first paragraph.
