I think we are going personal here and i don't like to (since i am sure it
will endup in a flameware, <humor>want to bet Daniel that if it is not for
us, someone else will turn this it into a flame? ;)</humor>), but Thomas
Hood (236780-submitter) expressed his disagrement with Branden on a
certain decision and i don't read anywhere that Thomas is 'wrong'.

I find perfectly normal that some people don't like other people and this
is true for all of us. It is simply part of the human nature. It happens
everywhere all the time.. at work, with friends and so on...
And at this point you might also want to be fair towards all the
candidates. How would you interpret this mail from the current DPL?
http://lists.debian.org/debian-project/2003/debian-project-200311/msg00116.html
(note that this reference is NOT meant to take credits away from anyone
but only to show that even Martin as Branden as everyone else has a human
side, as well all of you can just poke debian-apache for my flames..
http://lists.debian.org/debian-apache/2004/debian-apache-200403/msg00220.html
oh yes.. i am human too. doh! ;))
Of course we do agree that who is going to take leadership of Debian will
have to behave impartially on top of his/her personal feelings, but I
don't think it is fair to point the finger to any of the candidates using
a single personal case.
