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, my guess may be wrong. I allow for that. But please notice, I
didn't say majority, just "substantial number". Is 5 out of 20
active mailing list participants a substantial number?

All that are diferent stories. RPM thing was just a technical
proposition, not free software politics.

Thank you for calling me vocal and well-known. I am flattered.
