For those who can't read -private, Andrew's claims are untrue -
objections are voiced due to the manner in which Andrew voiced his
beliefs, not the beliefs in and of themselves. Nobody believes that
Andrew should be expelled from the project because he believes that
death should be a celebration of the fact that somebody is no longer
constrainted by their mortality. People believe that Andrew should be
expelled because he managed to turn a simple notice of the death of a
Debian contributor into a several hundred message flamewar.

Clearing up misleading claims should be done in the same forum as the
misleading claims.
