Matthew has been blogging frequently over the several past years, and aggregated on Planet Debian. He has, for example, written a lot about UEFI and Secure Boot, and the different ways in which Linux and distributions can handle them. You said nothing then. Now, when he blogs about what Ted Ts'o has said about rape, you react. This sounds an awful lot like you want to remove Matthew from Planet Debian because of his opinions on that issue. It is true that Matthew does not necessarily fill the criteria for being on Planet Debian, in the strictest interpretation. However, if we remove him right now, it sends a very clear signal that this is a forbidden issue in Debian, and, as a result, that women's rights aren't welcome anymore. I don't find that acceptable. I would find it extremely unfortunate if we removed Matthew from Planet Debian right now. -- I wrote a book on personal productivity: http://gtdfh.branchable.com/
