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.

Before you read you read any further, know this:  I am a believing
atheist, and to me the kjv is a lot more offensive, than any sexually
explicit jokes, because the bible was "forced on me" during my education,
sexually explicit jokes weren't pushed into me, when I didn't like them.
There have been lots of really bad things, that happened in the name of
the Bible (Crusades, Inquisition), but it hasn't completely stopped yet.
In the name of the Bible, there is still all sorts of nonsense going on on
the world. If you need examples for these, I will gladly provide them on
request, as I won't like to see a discussion on these matters here...




Well, saying the bible is important, is that all that it takes, to keep it
in the distribution? Well, 'sex' also always was important topic to
mankind, none of us would be alive without sex.

OK, the comparison is a little strange, but - if you allow the bible in,
then you probably allow comments on the bible in, but purity is just
nothing more than comments on another very important topic.

As for the legal background, I am not necessarily fighting for keeping
purity in the distribution. I'll support creating a new section for stuff
like purity, a section separated from the rest of the distribution, but
don't call it adult, because it should not just carry purity plus the
offensive set of fortune cookies, but also religious material. Anything
that can potentially be offensive against anyone's prudish nature or
religious education...

So, please, go on and install a new section and think of a good name for
it (with my English knowledge I couldn't come up with a name, but "adult"
just seems inappropriate if religious stuff goes in there, too).

P.S: Once the offensive cookies get moved out, please make sure, that the
offensive cookies stay in place when upgrading to a new version, that does
no longer contain those cookies... ;)
