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.

While I disagreed with Bruce's reaction, it was for very Dogmatic Free
Software reasons that I disagreed! If you voted for the DFSG, then you
voted for this dogma, as this is all that that document speaks to!

If it doesn't mean anything to elect a Project Director, then what is the
point of holding an election. It seems very disigenuous to vote for an
idea and then declare that your vote doesn't mean anything.

Waiting is,
