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.

You are missing several key points.

1. KDE did not give us the money.  A bookstore did/will.  We are not
   supporting a bookstore; thus we are not supporting a competitor.
   Our money was because of Debian, not because of KDE.
2. We cannot let outside donors (bookstores especially) influence our
   policy and weaken our stance on free software.
3. It is in our best interest to continue work on a free desktop
   envorinment.

Provocative?  Hardly.  KDE people knew what they were doing when they
picked Qt.  Now they must live with their actions.

Urmm, to what are you referring here?
