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.

We are aware of the SysLinux problem. If it is not possible to translate
it to one of our other assemblers, it's time to abandon the program in favor
of one of the three or four alternatives to it.

It is for reason that we take the course we have taken. I don't feel you
have shown much reason in your messages on this subject, in fact you've
refused to argue on a logical level when that opportunity has been presented
to you. I tire of the repetition. You can get the three or four people who
are interested in changing the Social Contract and the DFSG and spawn your
own derived distribution if you like. We aren't interested.

	Thanks
