I love it that trolls have the same freedom of speech to spew their crap that I have to defend against it. I mourn Ian's loss. I respect his right to choose his words. I VOW to SUPPORT the DEBIAN concept, distribution, and works. There's no racism here. Nor is there any room for trolls. FUCK p

"Being that the current year is almost 2016 and is 20 years after Debian started" Yes, let's rename a project because of an arbitrary date. That makes perfect sense. No it doesn't, that is absurd. "because having the project named after a white supremacist" Those are some pretty serious accusati
