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 vote we give the money to GTK for one reason, the name.

	Gimp ToolKit
	^^^^

When was the last time any of you guys used the Gimp?  It is freakin'
awesome!  I have been playing with it in for the past couple of days in my
spare time and am floored by the potential.  The connection GTK has to
gimp simply tells me this: GTK is going to be pretty cool also!  And I
always like sometthing that works so well.

And hey!  GTK is 100% unadulterated free.  (And I _know_ we like that...)

So, why not, instead of argueing forever, democratically come to a
decision about what we are going to do here.

Each side come up with specific reasonable suggestions, and then we will
take a vote!

ps.  If anyone wants to, go look at my homepage.  It is really boring but
it has some pictures I have made with the Gimp on it.  Plus, I'd love to
actually have someone visit it besides me!  :-)
