So, why was the expulsion process restarted against me in february,
while i was trying to walk away from the mess and move on ? In february,
what could be reproached to me.
The problem is that we are all humans, but there are differences in
human behaviour, you can recognize your errors, and try to make amends,
and search a resolution, or you can behave badly, refuse any kind of
compromise apart full victory, and go at the other's throat until you
kill him.
Debian has decided to support the second behaviour here, and Debian not
being an amorphous thing with his own mind, debian is each and all
individual DDs, and this mean, that *YOU* have decided to support this
behaviour, and i was the victim sacrificed, and left bleeding on the
road side, because the other side could not accept anything but full
bloody victory.
You may see this as normal, but it will hurt debian in the long run far
far more than everything i have or could have done, and it is indeed a
shitty thing to let happen, which is why everyone prefers me silenced
rather than pointing the finger to what happened, and showing them their
guilt in this.
You don't like the messenge, so you shoot the messenger, right ?
Well, i believed better of humanity, i believed better of my fellow DDs,
i guess this is all my fault in believing in goodness rather than evil.
Saddened,
Sven Luther
