[04:30] schestowitz__[TR] There was a misunderstanding. I said mental illness" because I saw that smear used against the debian.community site, not people whom it wrote about (at least one does have mental issues, being bipolar by one's own admission). [04:30] schestowitz__[TR] > It is the same with the Albanian girls in Mexico.

[04:30] schestowitz__[TR] The use of the word "traffic" is not helpful and can be demeaning to the girls who unwittingly participated or went along.
