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.

It was indeed a very wise decision, IMO. Congratulations Bruce.

Uh?? Is that your view or the KDE people's view? Sure this is not the
way the GNOME people see KDE.

This attitude is kind of immature. The KDE project is free to choose
whatever toolkit they want. On the other side they can't expect
support from organizations like Debian or the FSF, if their decision
goes against Debian's principles. It's part of the freedom that Debian
and the FSF have. The same freedom that the KDE project used to choose
their toolkit. *They* made a choice and must live with it now, as
mature persons do.

I hope that the KDE project shares your opinion that freedom is not
just a word.
