Sorry for the wording but it's way more than I can take:

What the fuck is this definition of "successful"??! It's so stupid I wonder whether you're playing smarts thinking you're addressing idiots in your reply, and you believe you can get away with it; or if you're actually mentally deficient, which I'd rather hope not. Both makes me wanna puke. I'm reaching the conclusion that electing you as DPL was the worst "experiment" Debian has ever gotten itself into. This opinion being based solely on your sayings and acts about this "experiment", as I don't know you, and don't care anymore about what you've done before (good or bad). Indeed, do you actually /think/ about what you write on public mailing-lists, and keep in mind that even when you're not posting as "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", you're actually the DPL in charge anyway? Or is the whole concept of "leadership" and the accompanying responsibilities totally unknown to you? Understanding that "successful" has nothing to do with "useful" is probably within the reach of a 10-year-old kid... I guess the vast majority of d-d-a readers can spot the difference as well! Here's an example of "successful" experiment based on such metrics: fatal human experimentation of new drugs (the patient dies, but at least the scientists/doctors can collect useful data. I doubt they'd call it a "successful experiment" though). There are many more examples but I'd rather avoid falling under Godwin's Law (though, according to the rule, it would probably end the thread).
