Do you deny that rejection is an act of hate ? And do you deny that the
expulsion is an act of rejection, because the project was unable to solve the
problem ?
For me, in a situation like this, fair does mean a solution which does not do
injustice to any of the parties. Do you deny that this decision, which
happened because the project is unable to solve his social disputes, can
hardly be called fair, since it didn't involve both parties of the this
dispute ?

The problem, is that those others cannot but reject this definition, or they
would see themselves as agreeing to a decision which is ugly and hateful. They
are not honest enough with themselves to see the reality, so instead of
solving this issue, they all go after the scapegoat.

Please give me an alternate definition where what was done to me since over a
year now, can be called fair ? I am very curious about it.

The advice was be silent and accept the iniquity. Sorry, but i could not do
this, and i challenge anyone who condemn me to think about it, and ask himself
how he would have acted in my place.

I am ashamed and humiliated in public, punished for a deed that half those
calling for my expulsion do daily. Can you explain to me how anyone could ever
imagine that this would ever help.
This is like a schoal yard, where a group of bullies constantly mollest the
same guy, because they dislike him, he is different, or whatever. And on top
of that, the teacher always end up punishing the the lone guy, because he
revolts against the bullies.
Would you accept that kind of situation for your children ? Why then does this
seem acceptable in debian ?

There is nothing left, everything i tried, everything, i was constantly bashed
by frans and the d-i team, with the blessing of the DPL and the debian
leadership.

Easy, you either accept my word, or i will reject it, because i am afraid that
i may be wrong, right ? How is this different to what is reproached to me ?
