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 this is an interesting parallel. It points out one (for me) very  
important point: I see absolutely no reason why the Debian Project Leader  
should act as an editor for the distribution. I strongly believe this  
shouldn't be part of the job description.

If we need such decisions, let's make them the way we decided about the  
DFSG.

Well, I sure feel embarassed to belong to a project that makes decisions  
this hypocritical.
