In that case, I'd rather you didn't be DPL. The XSF is run as a Branden-centric 'team', whereby if someone doesn't agree with you, they're wrong. Where if someone slips up and gets a little overenthusiastic, they get kicked out of the team briefly, others lose their access, and #debian-devel's topic announces that the person has hijacked the package in question. Where people get kicked out, seemingly on a whim. WHere expectations of others that must be followed under all circumstances, are not followed by yourself. I was disillusioned with the XSF before I joined. When I joined, it didn't get better. My actions were a last-straw attempt to try and force two issues, which were quite successfully forced. I don't think your XSF credentials reflect at all positively on your nomination: if you want to get elected, you're best served by not mentioning that again. Oh, and did I mention that issues we agreed upon on the phone, were blatantly violated by yourself? You made a number of promises and conciliations, then proceded to go back to slandering me on IRC, as per usual. I have no confidence in you, Branden. Not as a developer, not as a team leader, and certainly not as a leader (I have more confidence in NOTA).
