Right, I see were the misunderstanding comes from.  Let's quote the
whole text from http://lists.debian.org/debian-vote/2004/debian-vote-200403/msg00201.html

I should not have quoted both sentences you said.  My "I disagree with this"
refers to your first sentence only.  I agree with the second sentence.  My
disagreement was only about re-admission to the project where I think they
should not be treated the same, not about thanking them for the work they've
done.  Sorry for the confusion.
