Since Debian's policy is to keep everything on its website public, and I was told every message I send regarding Debian must be put on Debian's public forums, then how can I try and work out a disagreement with someone in private emails instead of needing to expose the dispute in public with all the negativity, slander, and defamation that might entail? I am willing to cooperate with anyone to help improve Debian software, but only if they agree to not accuse me in public of wrongdoing without first discussing the matter with me in a private email or other private forum. I am not interested in suing Debian for what happened to me, but I would not be surprised if in the U.S. eventually Debian will get sued unless it scrubs its website of some of the comments people make about each other on Debian public forums.You can (and we'd appreciate it if you would) contact the Debian Community team directly (which would not be public) at:community@debian.orgPlease include the details like the relevant bug numbers and as much other detail as possible.thanks, -Jonathan
It is Bug #994899, I ask that you remove every message except for my original bug report from the public facing servers. I leave it to the package maintainers to decide things like bug severity, etc. I think it is clear from why I want this if you read the whole bug report. Please read the bug report with all its messages, and I was especially upset that I was accused of being "not good" = bad, and just plain "wrong," and "ranting," etc. If you have any more questions, please reply to me privately and off-list. Also read the message Andy Smith posted in response to my post on the debian-user mailing list:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2021/09/msg00790.htmlI do not ask you to remove that message unless you think you should, but I cite it
as evidence that there is a problem within the Debian community about not observing just plain common decency and respect for other persons. Thank you, Chuck Zmudzinski
