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.

But distributing the purity package (original version) is not
"accepting" it.  The package contains a list of questions.  It does
not condone, encourage, or glorify.  It just asks questions.
Presumably, people will answer "no" and move on to the next question.
(If they don't, edge away from them carefully.)

Compare that with Quake, which glorifies blasting people to bits with
a nailgun.  

I'm not the first to make this point about quake, and I have seen
people reply "but quake is fun!".  Yep, it's popular, and I enjoyed
playing it myself.  But the purity question lists are popular too, and
many people enjoy answering them and finding their "score".  I would
probably do it myself if I had the patience for 400 questions.
