I am certain many Bay area restaurants in silicon valley may
also qualify. But that does not give Debian the right to determine
policy for the restaurant.

I see little to back up this opinion (unless you want to
include restaurants and bars etc, which may also qualify as
being gathering places for Debian developers)

Then tell the kicked developer to reallign his feeling of
displacement, despair, and rejection, and redirect them towards the
OPN and their representative, the channel op.

So talk to the OPN folks that their guidelines are being
ignored. How does a GR help?

Why not? It is their server and network.
Raphael> It's up to us to resolve the problem.
Why do we need to resolve problems external to the project?
Shall we ask the california court systems to let go a debian
developer, and that we shall handle his case? How does Debian have
any control here?

I refuse to violate the privacy if -private here.

I think we are wasting even more time and resources here, but
be that as it may.

So your GR was a first resort, without exploring these other
``simpler solutions''?
