It is easy enough, that the powers-in-debian stop to try to punish me for it, an,d that a real and fair mediation happens, and that the other party honestly tries to forget the past grudges. No solution can happen without this, and anyone thinking that the current way of handling this mess, will have any chance to solve the situation is a fool. I made numerous attempts to solve it, which were meet with contempt by the other party, and ignored by debian. Even the proposal i made on november to try to find a solution, and have an in-face meeting at FOSDEM, was meet with contempt, and a renewed expulsion request by the other party. And so we lost a formidable oportunity to solve this. > Lets *assume* the other party is not going to budge. They continue to > justify the decision to have you expelled.

One party is mostly alone, has made mistakes, but is honestly trying to solve this issue. The other party has made mistakes too, but never admitted to it, and has meet all attempts at conciliation with stronger agression. Furthermore, they are more numerous, and are able to use the debian infrastructure to force their position down the throat of the other side. If they are unwilling to change their mind, if they are unwilling to put their pride and past grudges apart, and if debian as a whole stands beside them, or at least let them do as they please, then debian has a much more serious problem than any bunch of mails i can write, even if i write ten times as many of them. > Would there be anything else that could happen to allow you to forget > your old grudges? How do you expect me to forget the old grudges, when each time i tried to forget them, they where forced down my throat with more extreme agression ? First after christmas with an unwarranted demand of a list ban, then in end of february with a renewed expulsion request. I guess that the debian project owes me apologies for these last two events, at the very least, well, maybe not the debian project, but those in power who let it happen that way, i doubt debian is honest enough with itself that this will be able to happen, and most of those who where sympathetic to my cause, chose, for whatever reason, not to act. I understand them to a poiint, since all those who expressed themselves during the expulsion procedure of late february/marsch, where ignored by the DAMs. Saddened, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
