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.

Excuse me, Phil, but I believe it is a little arrogant to decide that our
project can do without someone because of his/her opinion.

FYI, (read closer next time) he wasn't trying to pressure us by using his
participation.  He was simply expressing his opinion.  We all the hell do,
why can't he!

And, I think we need to make an agreement at Debian that we can _all_ have
our _own_ opinions concerning these different things and that we can share
them when we feel nessacary.  His message was reasonable and to the point.
No flowery language, no BS -- just what he thought.

People, please grow up.
