For those who can't read -private, Andrew's claims are untrue - 
objections are voiced due to the manner in which Andrew voiced his 
beliefs, not the beliefs in and of themselves. Nobody believes that 
Andrew should be expelled from the project because he believes that 
death should be a celebration of the fact that somebody is no longer 
constrainted by their mortality. People believe that Andrew should be 
expelled because he managed to turn a simple notice of the death of a 
Debian contributor into a several hundred message flamewar.

Clearing up misleading claims should be done in the same forum as the 
misleading claims.
