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.

It is quite a common mistake when writing the chatscript to do something
like:

word:    \qSecretPassword\q

Unfortunately, the extra \q at the end of the password turns logging back
on for that line, so that the password is logged. It should be written:

word:	\qSecretPassword

The original author didn't quote his chatscript in the post, perhaps he
should check on this.
