Debian can be better than this, really

The issue is that Daniel is still chasing us.
In this specific instance, I responded because Daniel filed an ITP.
If Daniel resigned and stopped interacting with the Debian community, we
would be a lot happier, and I would not have chosen to respond this way.

The primary issue from Debian's side is that Debian has asked someone to
leave--to stop interacting.  And yet they are still interacting by doing
things like filing ITPs.  We are not chasing anyone.  We are responding
and reacting to being chased on websites like debian.community, in our
own BTS, and in other fora.  We are responding to being chased by having
messages bcc'd to large numbers of our contributors even after we have
banned someone from posting to our lists.  In some cases, this has been
done by Daniel.  In other cases this has been done by people using
anonymous accounts using techniques that are very similar to techniques
described on a website run by Daniel.  We reject these forms of
interaction.  If it were not for these forms of interaction, we would be
much less vocal/much less interested in making public statements.

That does not compute:  An outsider worried about "this".

In other words: The bullshit has been seen.


Request: Leave this crap as manure.

P.S.
I was thinking about how to feed poison to the troll.

Second thought is keeping toxic stuff out of the environment.
Yes, that is way better.

The volunteer was elected as a community representative and he's been hounded 
ever since.  It looks like he asked people to stop these games, he resigned and 
he was still chased.

Making up reasons and stories to justify this retrospectively doesn't wash with 
me.  Nobody ever presented any evidence of wrongdoing before, you can't just 
make it up now and declare it to be true because you are the leader.

Please think about removing these records of vendettas from Debian.  You always 
talk about healing but there is no healing when these records are persisted in 
all the Debian tools, you are making Debian a target and setting the standard 
for future confrontation.

Melanie
