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 guess so, also - in that case the donation would be easier for them 
(only one party to deal with).

I said give it to KDE if they *WILL* use it for porting KDE to GTK
therefore becoming a completely FREE thing.

If the KDE guys won't like to port KDE to GTK, *THEN* give the money to
the GTK people or pick another project - just not one in direct 
competition with KDE, since we only have this revenue DUE to KDE.


Does it sound better that way?
