I actually did get something in return, pain and hurt and rejection. If
i had gotten nothing in return, i would be happily coding for the best
of debian, and we would all be happy.
That is the problem.

Well, i am sure no volunteers likes freely giving their time, and be
handled like shit afterward, i know it happens in many volunteer
organisation.
The point is, there is no reason for me to leave debian, i still have
much to contribute, there is no reason to not search a resolution to this
issue, which is easy and not time consuming, and could be done easily
enough if all party put their pride and arrogance aside, and say :
Well, we acted badly, but the faults are shared, let's forget past
hurts, and try positively to work together again.
Is this so much to ask debian ? Really ?
As an example of why this is a mess :
14:27:44 < Ganneff> svenl: would you *ever* consider something as
"valid way out" thats not 100% what you want, ie "you all admit you
have been wrong"?
How funny, since This is exactly the discourse that Anthyony Towns,
Frans Pop and Raphael Hertzof held to me : "you must first admit that
everything is your fault".
What is wrong in being a bit more humble, and recognizing that the fault
is shared, and that if everyone involved showed a bit of good will, then
it would be solved in no time.
Show me a sign, and i will jump on it, and we will all be back to
happily coding, but upto now, all my tentatives of going another way
have been cruel deceptions, and the trust i had in debian has been
wronged, and i have seen no real sign of anybody searching a resolution.
So, i repeat, let's solve this issue in a fair and honest way, and
everyone will be happy. Is this too much to ask ? Apparently so ...
Saddened,
Sven Luther
