The real problem, is that we are facing a social problem, in which myself and
Frans Pop are involved, and which has plagued Debian since over a year now.
The natural recourse for this was to call for the DPL as mediation, but this
did fail with the result that we know, and there is no instance who wanted to
handle the problem.
So, everyone tells me to shut-up and accept the way i have been handled, and
since i fail to this, i am to be thrown out, err, suspended for a year, after
a procedure full of irregulaties, and an argumentation which was dubious and
hurting.
When will Debian realise that there should be a way to solve social problems,
and actually try to solve it, instead of trying to censor or silence the most
annoying party ? This is a real question, and once Debian has an answer for
that, it will solve my problem, but also the innumerable flamewars in which i
was not involved which surface regularly, and contribute to the not-fun
ambient of which i am currently made the scapegoat.
Hurt,
Sven Luther
