#10402 — Debian, Totalitarianism, Thought Reform, what next?

Message-ID<xFOdX-6S-1@gated-at.bofh.it>
The humble & humiliating apology made by Comrade Preining last week
smells like the confessions that political prisoners
make after undergoing thought reform and coercive persuasion
programs.  The State 100% right and Comrade Prisoner 100% wrong.
Of course.

How could Preining refuse after DAM leaks his name to newspapers?
So much pressure.

Demotion like Chinese internment camps for muslims to get their
thought reform treatment.

Preinings warning looks like Chinese social credit scheme.  Why not ask
Chinese GSoC student to copy social credit scoreboard for Debian.

The elections look like new-era Hong Kong elections, only candidates
from the Party are permitted.

Anybody else alert to these things?

You are absolutely wrong and I find your email disgusting and disrespectful to all the political prisoners you mention in your email.

Please do not write your hurtful emails here anymore.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice.
In practice, there is.  .... Yogi Berra

Theory is when you know everything but nothing works.
Practice is when everything works but no one knows why.
In our lab, theory and practice are combined:
nothing works and no one knows why.  ... unknown

Seriously, *please* give it a rest.

Please give it some time to heal.

Just for now.

Comparing this situation with political prisoners is so far off anything 
that is even remotely accurate that there is really nothing to discuss 
here.

Apologizing and forgiveness are some of the greatest tools to heal what 
was wounded.

Thanks,

Your comparison is disgusting, both an insult to those who suffer as
political prisoners and an insult to all who work to heal the damage in
incidents like this. Yes, including the person you refer to.

> Anybody else alert to these things?

We are alert to your trolling. Go away.
