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.

 Quite wrong, Bruce,  I know of no document stating Debian's mission;
 the "social contract", I am afraid, does not talk about goals, but about
 general principles. It is been a year wondering about Debian's mission,
 for the many do not appear to know: members do get into passions 
 and argue one another quite often about it.  And therefore, you must 
 not be offended if I repeat myself today in saying, that the manifesto 
 could become more informative and leave no doubt about our intentions:


        THE PRIMARY GOAL OF DEBIAN IS TO PROVIDE AN
          ENTIRELY FREE SOFTWARE DISTRIBUTION



 I admit that I now know better; but one more thing, what do the 
 articles of incooperation say about the purpose of SPI ?
