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.

You are exactly right. The Social Contract makes that point about the
acceptance of others. That is what I have been saying. Bruce et al should
refrain from this "evangelism" in the name of Debian and I feel they have
their special interpretation of the SC to mandate that others have the
same attitude in regards to licensing as they have.

If they do advocacy privately that is no problem with me. But not in the
name of the Project.
