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.

Perhaps people forget that Democracy is designed to *prevent* progress
from crushing the little guy.  That's only an issue in an
*involuntary* arrangement, such as that between an inhabitant of a
territory and the occupying government.

Benign dictatorship is *much* more efficient; it's just hard to find
"good" dictators, so we try to have these annual elections (as much to
support the self-confidence of the leaders as anything, it's not like
we're all particularly qualified to evaluate such leaders -- remember,
we're here because we're successful at packaging software, and this is
*not* a leadership-filtering quality :-)

Well and clearly put.
