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 discussed this online and decided that funding GNOME was the best
way to fund a free replacement for Qt.

I have no message from any of the KDE developers that they find this
insulting.

Debian is free software - one would expect that we could use the
donations we get from it in any way we want. Obviously, it's in our
interest to promote free software.

	Thanks
