Objection about Mez (Title set by Mez)

[Mez]

DSA have on at least 3 occasions tried to shut this board down.

Links for the curious?

I can possibly dig out one of them (have a search in debian-project). And maybe another (if it was a logged IRC channel). The other was done via private mail so no link.

I among others was disappointed with the non-response from the admin side of things and IMHO rightly so.
Since my short time as an admin I have learned alot of what goes on behind the scenes.
Mez is the reason this forum is here to begin with and he is the reason it is still here.

Lets cut him a break and say thank you.

found this thread which references a security/spam issue as the underlying problem.

I am going to lock this topic. If you fundamentally disagree please PM me.

I believe the basic purpose of this Forum is for Users to ask questions and Users to give answers about using Debian. I think this line does nothing to improve on this.

Any problems appear to be behind us and will not benefit by being raked over. Potential is in front of us.

I am very,very, very grateful to Mez and the changes he has made.
