Hi,

Reading what you say, and I beg your pardon before going on, I can
tell that you absolutely have no idea about what the debian live
project is or about its history. But well, I have to admit that if
what you say is true, then you have a point.

You say "I'm aware that I'm going to be upsetting people, but this has
been a long time coming"

Yes you are absolutely right, you are upsetting people, people like me
who have contributed to debian for years and spent hours of effort to
make things better.

"A long time coming"? Excuse me, but the first thing I've ever heard
in all these years is that you and I mean you (not the debian cd team,
who supposedly is responsible for this upheaval)  shows up from out of
the blue claiming that you have the right to do as you please and
decide about the future of the debian live team.

This is, from my point of view, an act of dictatorship and with my
authority as a debian user and contributor for years I demand you step
down from your position and ask for forgiveness to the debian live
team for being so rude, impolite and not worthy of any more of my
priceless words and time.

Sorry for being so rude and impolite but you can only fight fire with fire.

Consider the same from my point of view.
