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.

I wouldn't know about coffee shops in Paris, but I *am* convinced that  
this is the only intellectually honest theory possible.

Indeed, it doesn't. That was my point.

Everybody needs to decide for himself. And bear the full responsibility.

This paragraph doesn't make any sense to me.

If you didn't read it the first time, what good would it do to repeat it?
