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's really a pity. Otherwise people would realize that there's absolutely  
nothing wrong with giving the money to GNOME. And there's indeed something  
wrong with the attitudes on the KDE side.

(Besides - piety? IMHO, that one really doesn't belong in that list. Or at  
least that's what my Western-European education tells me.)

Or maybe there simply _is_ no good reason not to?

IT IS NOT KDE WHO IS GIVING US THIS MONEY!

No, because it doesn't agree with the facts.

KDE didn't give us any money. JFL did.

We didn't humiliate either KDE or JFL.

Now what was your complaint again?
