good riddance, antoine the fascist. you love causing damage to the debian
project and now you're throwing a temper tantrum like a five-year old child
because you can't comprehend the ai evolution. you are nothing more than a
deranged person who spits at people's work and expects people to follow their
unhinged beliefs, a waste of human space. you are the one who is being fascist
here.

No matter what is being discussed, no matter the arguments, no matter how
disconnected from reality you feel the other person to be, this kind of
hate speech is not welcome in Debian. Please stop immediately.

For the avoidance of doubt: the message below does violate the Code of
Conduct. David Nickelson is not a DD but has been blocked from mailing
lists accordingly.

A general request from me to treat each other with politeness and respect:
the Code of Conduct applies to all Debian mailing lists, IRC channels
and use of Debian infrastructure.
