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.

Debian and politics

Hi,

I am getting increasingly distressed about the level of bickering and
"politics" going on here.

It seems that every time Bruce posts a message, somebody attacks him,
and a new debate ensues.  And usually it's a debate about something
that has already been decided long ago.  For instance, we already have
a non-free section that KDE fits in to.  We get it to our users so
they can use it, and at the same time, make it clear that we do not
agree with the license restrictions.  So why are we arguing over
whether or not we should include it?

Then there's this argument over what our priorities are -- free
software or functionality.  Again, it doesn't matter -- we can do BOTH
thanks to non-free.

Of course, Bruce isn't perfect.  Neither am I.  Neither is anyone else
here.  That is no reason to attack him or call for his resignation
every time he does something that annoys somebody else slightly.

"Engage brain before opening mouth" seems an applicable statement
here.

I am tired of this bickering over things that don't matter.  Reasoned
debate over important things is expected and welcome (for instance,
our free software guidelines).  Petty bickering isn't.

John
