Rhonda D'Vine, Gerfried Fuchs, Pronouns & Debian pregnancy cluster

When I started publishing evidence about the Debian pregnancy cluster, people thought it was a joke and there would be two or three babies at most. We are now well beyond that. It is a surprisingly serious example of cult phenomena in Debian. We'll get to the reason why it is so serious in another blog in this series.
Rhonda D'Vine is well known as one of the Debian mailing list censors. She is transgender and has been known to censor people in a fit of emotion, just as the Zizians conduct executions based on their intolerance and resentment towards straight people and unwillingness to pay for stuff.
Rhonda D'Vine and Dr Norbert Preining are both from Austria. German is their native language. When Dr Preining made a mistake with a pronoun in English, he was immediately banished. That was the Debian Christmas Lynchings.
In one of my last blogs, we discovered that Vincent Danjean from France also made the same mistake, using the pronoun "it" for a person in an email about his baby.
In fact, Rhonda made exactly the same mistake too.
Clearly, Dr Norbert Preining was a victim of intolerance, resentment, vigilantism and most telling, hypocrisy.
Subject: [VAC] we have released Date: Sun, 21 Mar 2010 12:05:55 +0100 From: Gerfried Fuchs <rhonda@deb.at> To: debian-private@lists.debian.org
Hi!
Yesterday, 20th of March, at five to midnight, we have released out most straining and time consuming project ever. It's codename is Simon André and we are pleased that it was (more or less) a smooth release process with just a minor delay of three days - but the best don't release on time but when it's ready.
Given that the maintenance of the release is expected to require a fair bit of attention I have to set myself into soft-VAC mode. I do not plan to diasspear from my other tasks but it might mean that my responses won't be as timely as people are used to.
Thanks for your attention, enjoy the nice spring weather! Rhonda
