    read most of Orwell's books, especially 1984 and Animal Farm, because then they'd begin to understand the world we live in.

    The discussion period is over. If you don’t like either of the candidates, cast
    your vote for "Choice 3: None Of The Above". Stop trying to force your own views onto people like you just did for the GR.

    If you are unsatisfied with the DPL candidates available this time due
    to them co-signing the letter (or indeed, over half of all DPLs that
    project ever had[1]), then I hope you will "put your money where your
    mouth is" and run as a DPL candidate next round.
    Honestly, I think would be a much more constructive way of dealing
    with this issue than labelling people for "cancel mob candidates" in
    public because you disagree with them.

    ~Niels

    [1] The Debian project has had 17 unique DPLs according to Wikipedia.
    Of these, 10 of them co-signed the letter. Notably including 7 of the
    last 8 DPLs (spanning the period from 2008 to now except a two year period).

    Conveniently they have all added "Debian Project Leader" to their
    signature, which made them easy to find in the letter.

    FYI, I mailed community@ about the despicable behaviour you are showing
    right now.

    While I'd never have done that during the discussion period, because I
    hold essential that one can express their opinion, the discussion
    periods are over, and the votes have started.

    Your mails are creating unacceptable pressure on other voters, and shows
    a poor respect for the democratic processes we have established. Votes
    are personal and never should be subject to any pressure.

    And to be clear, if any person voting against RMS were to do as you just
    did I'd mail community the same way and call out their behaviour the
    same way.

    Not only do you have to stop that, but I'd seriously reflect on myself
    if I were you.

    Don't even bother to reply, I'll ignore you until the end of both votes.

    It's far easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them.
