• Re: Open Letter to Debian election candidates about Debian vendettas

    From Jonathan Carter@21:1/5 to Daniel Pocock on Sat Mar 19 12:10:01 2022
    Daniel, you have been kicked out and consequently banned entirely from
    the project due to your behaviour and continued poor behaviour. You are
    not welcome or allowed in Debian, which includes our mailing lists,
    other communication channels or in-person events. And we will certainly
    not apologise to you for the harassment that you have caused to our
    project members and volunteers.

    For anyone else, our public statement remains at:

    This culture of attacks was cultivated by a series of emails sent from

    Other volunteers, for example, Dr Norbert Preining, have resigned[2] in disgust at the same culture crisis in Debian.

    The recent legal verdict against Red Hat, Inc has explicitly stated that overbearing and controlling tendencies of people in leadership roles

    As a leader, can you identify anything that is more important than
    stopping, retracting and apologizing for these vendettas that were born

    Will you publicly denounce the culture of denouncing people?

    I don't think you got that original mail from the list, it's Daniel
    sending mails to a large amount of people and forging some headers to
    make it look like it's coming from debian-devel, and then when people
    reply-to, they inadvertently send the content to debian-devel themselves.

    He's already banned from all the Debian lists, this is just a new way
    he's discovered of being abusive.

    This culture of attacks was cultivated by a series of emails sent from

    Other volunteers, for example, Dr Norbert Preining, have resigned[2] in

    As a leader, can you identify anything that is more important than

    Will you publicly denounce the culture of denouncing people?

    Seriously don't know why I'm on this list, I run OpenCV and we're just
    focused on finding other places in Europe for our Russians and Ukrainians
    to work. People fight (as we see, there and here) and people maximally
    accuse -- one doesn't just have a different opinion or lack cultural fit,
    one embodies the spirt of Satan. And... some people are indeed evil. I
    don't know what the case is here -- but I like and use Debian. Wish you efficiency and success in sorting this out in a minimally contentious way. Think long term -- we have people who were on a short vacation and are
    probably never returning home.

    Jonathan Carter's attempt to obstruct it in his capacity as outgoing
    leader is an abuse of the role of DPL. It is even worse because he is a candidate. You each have the right to answer for yourself.

    Jonathan is from South Africa. His response admits that he has brought Apartheid tactics to Debian. Banning people is straight out of the
    Apartheid playbook, that is fact:

    Hi,

    First, if there's a culture problem in the project or not, sending messages
    to people they do not want to receive is not good. Of course you have your
    opinion, but your such behavior is not acceptable at any communities including
    outside of Debian. Please stop it.


    Before talking, you should get counseling for a while since it seems that
    you have some cognitive troubles now. You'd be better to hear about your
    opinion and current your mind status from professional 3rd parties, not Debian.
    (If they say you're very healthy and good, then that's good. Don't you think so?)

    Without that, we cannot make a constructive conversation.

    As I said in my platform, "Be calm, stay cool, stay safe" - Hope you stay "cool"
    a bit with help from professionals, and you would to be able to a "contributor"
    to floss again.


    Life is short - to waste our time for fighting. Let's make more values for users.
