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.

While the passage I was talking about doesn't do this explicitely, I'm far  
from convinced that calling it a "false statement" is justified, as I see  
(in that passage, and the ones near it) not only a complete lack of any  
indication that there's a problem with this behaviour, but also explicit  
statements that some of the offenders (Lot, Abraham) are among the people  
God seems to like best.

I'm quite sure that if this wasn't the bible, Christians would argue that  
it _does_ promote incest, based on that passage.

Unfortunately, that completely fails to explain Genesis 19,30 - 20,18.

Sorry, but I don't agree that you have any basis for calling it "the  
opposite of the truth".
