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.

The only "adult material" that I'd expect to possibly being illegal to  
distribute, in our distribution, would be Quake. (After all, Doom _was_  
illegal that way over here, even if for somewhat strange reasons.)

I certainly wouldn't expect to see purity in that category.

Of course, IANAL - most of us aren't.

Everything is WHAT?!

To you, maybe. To me, on the other hand, everything is secular, except  
that *I* don't expect everyone to share my view.

And I see absolutely no reason why religion can't be anathema. My position  
doesn't happen to be that extreme, though. I just believe religion is  
wrong (and people are allowed to be wrong).

If Nietzsche knew it, it is almost guaranteed to be wrong.

And I surely wouldn't ever agree to "metaphysical and therefore religious"  
(and I wouldn't use the "mataphysical" label in the first place, it's only  
bound to obfuscate).

Let's take this offline, or drop it.
