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.

Sure, I don't think there is any problem with debian giving money to a free
software project. The problem is that Bruce said that he is going to use the
money given to the debian project we got from a Debian+kde disk directly to
the gnome project. So practically we are giving money we got from the work
of kde team to their worst competitor! 

I really wonder what Bruce thinks he is gaining with his provocative actions
against the KDE people.

No wonder, if commercial distributions don't use Debian as it's base :(.
