Yeah, you didn't see him insult me one sunday evening on irc though, but
then he was probably drunk or something, since he didn't remember it the
next day.

Furthermore, even if he made it look technical, his wording was of such
an agressive and offensive kind, that you could see

Right, funny, how i should keep it technical, but everyone else is
allowed to be personal and non-technical against me. I wonder what
technical ground was given by the kernel team to expule me from it, just
because i wanted to add PS3 and efika support to the kernel (see
#439006). Nor how they can justify on technical grounds why those
patches are acceptable from everyone but me ? 

But then, what can you expect from a fascist organisation which believes
in censorship and repression ? And with the vaste majority of DDs (you
included) accepting this ?

Marco, do you feel that Jonas asking for discussion of these issues at
the individual bug report level is non-warranted ? Can you give a
serious technical reason for not following good debian bug reporting
practices here ? 

Sadly,
