I am not a DD. I do not speak for Debian or its personel. Although I
would assume that they consider free speech important, considering
that in the US (and other places) 'code=speech'.

You are not limited in your freedom to speak. It is others that may or
may not choose to listen or take action to recieve or block what you
say. It has been your actions that lead to this and it will be your
future actions that change the situation. I hope you are able to change
your actions to be able to continue your desired Debian work.
