Are you really meaning to say that Andrew's posts are directly contributing to a culture of witch hunts? Or are you really referring to some other standard of "making things worse" here? I guess that if Debian is predisposed to witch hunts, I don't see how anything Andrew has said *could* make it worse. That would mean that Andrew's arguments against witch-hunting are persuading people that witch hunts are a good idea, wouldn't it? (And not just persuading them that, say, Andrew himself is an asshole or something) I think that would be a rather disappointing reflection on the Debian community, regardless of what it implied about Andrew's ability to persuade an audience... -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world. vorlon@debian.org http://www.debian.org/
