Yet, i was the only punished. Why is that ?

I kept asking for a fair trial.

fairly ?

Well, given that all was in the hand of frans, i can tell you that if
the situation where inversed, and i had all the possibility to solve it,
and was offered a conciliation, i would have jumped on it.
This is because i am a good guy, probably too good, which is why i
suffered here.

All or nothing ? Again, this is FUD. In may 2006, i proposed a
reasonable compromise to Steve, involving me stopping from posting on
the debian-boot mailing list, but being able to work on d-i without
restriction. Does this sound all or nothing ? Even Steve Langasek said
it was a reasonable proposal (but *shurg* he did say).

i can get nothing, i never could. It was always : *YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT IT
AND THAT IS IT*.

Heu, the current state seems pretty definitive. There is no place for a
continuation, and when i tried to propose a mediation, and a meeting at
debconf, people shouted at me.

Right. But the death are dead.

My end goal is to be handled fairly, to get blamed for the
responsability i have, but no more, and that both parties are equally
blamed. But this was apparently too much to ask.
Sadly,
