I don't see why I would want to hide my opinion from the other DDs.Making the ballot secret makes it possible for one to not do so if they feel that is against their best interests, but does not stop you from stating your opiniion publicly.Under what circumstances are we expecting people to think that letting other DDs know how they voted is going to be against their interests?
Well, again, see the thread about RMS GR. I remember there wer some really strong attacks between DDs or outside. Debian is a mulcicultural aned international project, with different cultures of democracy. It is a strength, but also really hard when addressing political topics.
If we are assuming that some DDs might start attacking people based on the way they voted, then I'd suggest that it's more important to eject such toxic people from Debian than it is to try to mitigate their toxicity using measures that have negative side-effects.
This point is right. But I am not sure Debian is robust enough, today, to expell easily, quickly and without the victims to be disappointed to make part of the project, someone. recent examples show how such decisions are difficult, controversial, and while CT + DAM + DPL work on this, I think it is a long-term thought, given the original culture of Debian and the current society state of mind.
