Sven, please: stick to the whole truth. They didn't kick you just for
different opinions on software matters. One reason they did that was
obviously the fact - if I'm not very much mistaken - that you were
threatening one person physically:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2006/03/msg00620.html
And under such circumstances, Sven, in nearly every professional
environment you would have had 5 minutes to pack. Maximum.
So if you really want to talk about history, tell us just the whole
truth. But I'd suggest - strongly suggest - to not stir up this old
stuff again. I believe we've had this story much too often on this
list. At least for my taste ...

I don't doubt that there are other lists being much more appropriate
for certain issues than this one: But as there are, IINM, literally
hundreds of mailing-lists it is always a good idea to firstly address
- when it comes to powerpc related Debian issues - this precious, not
so little powerpc list ... :)
That was actually all I wanted to say in my previous posting: And
sorry if the words I chose ("Wrong.") weren't as polite as they could
have been ...
Best Regards
Wolfgang
