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'd like to encourage Linux users to be a little more responsible.  We
can get a lot farther by being nice than by being fanatics.

Being "upset" is different than being "angry".  To me, being upset
means that there is a situation I want to change.  Linux publicity is
only one facet of the problem.  The other requires an attitude change
in segments of the Linux community.  I know I can't change other
anyone's behavior, but I may be able to get people to come to the same
conclusion that I have, i.e., flaming in the name of Linux is a bad
idea.  In the past, I was certainly no angel in this regard.

The only thing I've done is post here for ideas.

Well, Martin Michlmayr is their Public Relations Manager.  I think
they could use a press liason, though.
