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.

I am sorry to hear that. But "freedom" is also that we have the choice and
*choose* to use the money as we please. This is according to our "Social
Contract" by supporting DFSG-compliant software. By the way, I may be wrong,
and please do point it out to me if so, but I would assume the money that 
will/would be given to SPI would be for the debian distribution which they are
going to distribute, so it's not really for KDE at all.

I *honestly* hope you reconsider. But forcing a whole lot of debian developers 
to change the way they feel about this is surely not going to work. 
So if you feel you must...

I am growing tired of this whole issue so I hope we can drop it soon.
Thanks,
Luis.
