This is both inconsistent with your statements in the debate[0], and
unacceptable in that you're asking hundreds of developers to spend hours
for things that you have claimed to _have_[1], and then agreed to
present[2].

Saying that the information is all out there is flat out unacceptable,
part of what is being discussed as part of the job as DPL, which you
have agreed with[3], is digging through long debates and/or flame wars
and bringing things to the point of the matter.

If you do not have the time or inclination to dig out information on
something as damning as religious discrimination then how can you
possibly claim to be suitable for the job of DPL?

Respectfully, dig out the information and present it, or stop claiming
that these things are going on, you are doing nothing but harming not
only your own reputation, but that of others of your religion, myself
included.

   <JeroenVW> TedWalther: by the way, can you please if you're going to
accuse people, fellow DPL candidates in this case, from discriminating
based on religion, provide proof for such accusations?  I think that's a
very strong accusation to make, and I think it's very bad for the
atmosphere in Debian
...
   <TedWalther> JeroenVW: thats all been done on the mailing lists. read
through -vote, -devel, and -private

1:
   <TedWalther> JeroenVW: also, I've started keeping IRC logs, which
include your own prejudiced attitudes.

2:
   <JeroenVW> TedWalther: can you prove one quote where I'm
discriminating based on religion? Permission to quote granted
hereby
...
   <TedWalther> JeroenVW: not in the timeframe of this debate. we can do
it later though
