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.

Re: "purity" package

	Are you sure? Or is it just an expression of your bias? Are
 you sure there are actual laws that would prohibit the purity tests
 and not also cat sex.6 and the source code comments and the bible?
 What do the laws target? (talk of incest, maybe?) 

	I have seen the purity package on major ftp sites, and noone
 seems to have gone ravening after the site admins. How does making a
 Debian package suddenly change that? 

	Morever, we have not dumped the cryptographic stuff. It is
 still a part of the distribution, uncensored and all.

	Huh? (How is the value of PI religious?)

	Oh, so you don't think athiesm is possible at all?

	I do not agree. (Unless you say that dismissing metaphysical
 commitments as sheer bunk is a metaphysical commitment in itself, in
 which case the information content of that statement drops to nil)

Christoph> Nietsche already knew that in the 19th century ....

	Oh, *such* a valid source. Do you embrace nihilism too?
