http://www.pledgebank.com/killfileandrew Comments on 'killfile Andrew Suffield so I do not recieve Debian list email from him' en-gb team@pledgebank.com 1901-01-01T00:00+00:00 2 hourly http://www.pledgebank.com/killfileandrew#comment_8308 This pledge had *nothing* to do with the recent fracas on debian-devel-announce. I consider the issue raised here closed many months ago. Please don't beat a dead horse. http://www.pledgebank.com/killfileandrew#comment_8277 meeeh this issue sucks really... don't you guys have more important things to focus on than pimp ubuntoy on d-d-a? I support what asuffield did. I'm thinking about timely delivering of DSAs mostly... I think joey should be spending less time writing huge mails to annouce his banning asuffield, and more time writing the dsas... Joey's reaction reminds me on what happened in #debian a while back. Clueless DDs coming and teaching the regulars about how they should handle the lusers, and after a couple of weeks, you see these DDs leave the chan for they can't handle the lusers any better, but still give orders and ban knowledgeable and helpful people. debian is dying, and that sucks. http://www.pledgebank.com/killfileandrew#comment_3019 Angostic, I don't believe this has anything to do with religion (I'm not religious) and, as far I know, have have never directly gotten into an argument with Andrew myself. I can't speak for the other signatories. As I say in my blog post, this isn't supposed to be limited to picking on Andrew. More importantly, lets not discuss "the tigger" here. That was on -private and it's our responsibility as developers to keep it that way. http://www.pledgebank.com/killfileandrew#comment_3003 This looks like people with roughly-Christian beliefs attacking a person who told them that he doesn't share their views, with some long-time grudges coming out too. The stated reasons have little to do with the trigger, as far as I can tell. http://www.pledgebank.com/killfileandrew#comment_2997 Andrew, Nobody is trying to kick you out. Nobody is trying to take any sort of decision against you as the Debian project. I would not and will not support any attempt of the kind. http://www.pledgebank.com/killfileandrew#comment_2996 My response to this is on debian-project, where this should have been in the first place. Trying to Vancouver this may be very Debian but it's hardly respectable. I won't respond to futher comments here. Anybody who signs this pledge without even bothering to hear the other side will get exactly what they deserve. http://lists.debian.org/debian-project/2005/08/msg00074.html http://www.pledgebank.com/killfileandrew#comment_2995 So I've been (predictably) been getting a little flak over this so I thought I would point people to my blog entry where I talk about my motivation in comments with a bit more detail and explain some things that weren't apparent to everyone: http://mako.cc/copyrighteous/freesoftware/20050805-00
