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 think we can safely draw the line before promoting these, or putting out  
anything that needs this to happen to be produced (like GIFs of it).

A very different matter, OTOH, is just talking about it. I'm pretty far  
from convinced that we can safely draw the line before that.

Incidentally, the bible is quite clearly on the wrong side of both my and  
your ideas about that line - it does promote incest, for example. However,  
people get incensed about purity and not about the bible. Something to  
ponder ...

As to the question about appropriateness in general somewhere else in this  
thread, yes, I've been thinking about that since the bible and the  
magazines came up.

Maybe it's time to split some sort of supplementary distribution off the  
main Debian one. I'm not quite clear on how best to handle this, though.

Maybe we should do it similarly to the non-US stuff, but with a different  
criterion (exact terms to be determined, but NOT "offensive").

At first glance (at the descriptions only), the following existing  
packages look like pretty obvious candidates:

  arrl-infoserv
  wordnet{,doc}
  verse
  pj*n*
  lg-issue*
  bible-kjv

Of course, there's other stuff that might go there, too - large parts of  
otherosfs, games, sound ... it all depends on which driteria we choose.
