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.

You have such an interesting way of re-interpreting what others say to fit
your pre-conceved notions.

Yet another interesting interpretation. My only question to you is, "What
the 72-69-76-76 does any of this have to do with Debian?"

You see "reasoning", I saw a question. One that you failed to answer.

It is the fact that you wish to grey everything into incomprehenable slop
that makes having any fruitful discussions with you nearly impossible. I
find that as frustrating as anything else about the Project.
