I do strongly disagree with his personal thoughts, but I must grant
him the right to be whatever as*#§$ he likes. Be it so.

Just one more point:

I think, keeping politics and extremist declarations outside Debian
also means, that he/we should not declare such thoughts using official
debian mail-addresses. Using corporate addresses means assigning those
declarations to debian and thus putting politics _inside_ debian.

So, feel free and feel encouraged to participate in political
discussion and decision-making, but make sure to do this with your
private address or make shure, that your opinion is supported by the
community.

Using corporate mail for disclaiming thoughts contrary to corporate
politics/views is - iirc - good reason for lay off in all countries.

Horst.
