Debian aggression: woman asked about her profession
In my last blog about the DebConf6 assault, I looked at the way the entire DebConf6 population was fooled to believe a dentist was a prostitute.
As it turns out, at least one person felt it was acceptable to walk up to this female dentist and simply ask her if she was a paid dinner date.
The email below also demonstrates the manner in which at least one member of the women's clique, Amaya Rodrigo, was trying to convince Ted's date that Ted might be dangerous. This is a hideous example of backstabbing and sabotage.
While this was 16 years ago, Debian hasn't changed. We can see how easy it was to hoodwink developers with the false accusations that Jacob Appelbaum is a rapist. In 2018, at FOSDEM, the OSI president used her speech to promote a "whisper network". Amaya's email shows us what the "whisper network" really means, soul-destroying tactics deployed for purposes of wrecking a man's personal life.
If people are so gullible and if an organization has no checks and balances in grievance procedures then the organization is putty in the hands of manipulators. These cultural flaws have serious repercussions for the quality and the security of the Debian operating system.
