Nobody has proposed censoring Andrew. People are simply stating that they will stop listening to him.

There comes a point where the negative aspects of someone's contributions grossly outweigh the positive ones. Andrew contributes very little of any direct benefit to the project, but has a talent for stimulating pointless argument. In that respect, I'd put him in the same sort of catagory as Jonathan Walther. > Nor as far as I know is there any indication that he has > mishandled any responsibility as a DD or has been seen by anyone > outside Debian to reflect poorly on the Project in any substantial > way. Perhaps you should speak to more users? Andrew certainly has a reputation outside the developers, and it's not a good one. -- Matthew Garrett | [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
