Hi Matthew, hi fellow Debian developpers, hi Debian community at large, I am now reacting to this mail, since it is not the first time since the election that i see Sam attacked over his supposed GNAA sympathies. I have no idea about sam's relationship with GNAA or not, nor do i seriously care. But, this insistence, which comes after the expulsion procedure against me which was restarted the day after i announced my DPL candidacy, while i was being utterly silent on the Debian mailing list, gives me a very very bad feeling. It seems to me, as if a subset of Debian, which felt threatened by myself announcing my intentions to candidate as DPL, may also in some way feel threatened by sam acting as DPL, and there seem to be a lot of hidden maneuvering and stuff as far as i can tell. So, do we really want Debian to be a place of political maneuvering, like what we have seen this past year and more ? I thought the massive vote in favour of Sam and against Anthony was a clear answer to that, but it seems some have not yet learned about it, and are still trying to bring in mafioso-like politicks into debian.
