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.

Totally invalid.  If we are going to make our rules, then we can't
complain when someone follows through with them.  And, also, shouldn't it
always be our responsiblity to be more mature (if they really have done
anything wrong)?

Actually, according to our rules, no, they don't.  And I think "there not 
being any more Debian" is a wonderful dramatization, but means almost as
much as a one legged lamma.  Nothing.

Oh, let's whine now...  Come on, why should they do anything?  We simply
have a disagreement in policy.  And we _did_ say anyone could use us as a
base distribution...
