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.

Re: "purity" package

I think we should give as much leeway as possible towards the content of
the distribution and only restrict material when this will cause a
significant problem. Thats why I talked about "particularly offensive
material".

Adult material is very often considered to be unfit for minors by the laws
of many countries. This is not an issue of religion or opinion but a legal
issue. We are a non-profit organization and we could be sued for
distributing adult material. CD-Rom vendors face a similar issue as
already mentioned by netgod.
