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.

My university (one of the biggest in this country) has a *full*
newsfeed.  I'd say that qualifies as adult material.  As far as I
know, they haven't suffered any adverse consequences to date.  Now I'm
not saying that it won't ever cause any problems, but I think you may
be exaggerating the likely effect.

Huh?  Guess it depends on how you define religious.

Well, If you define metaphysical == religious, then I suppose I can't
argue, but that's not an equivalence I'd be likely to make.  Abstract
reasoning does not imply religion, though the converse may very well
be true.

(Why am I getting back into this?  I told myself I wouldn't, but I
can't seem to shut up...)
