Yes, it wasn't for Libertarian beliefs. I was expelled for requesting kosher food. Let's see, what sort of people dislike the people that follow a kosher diet...

Yeah it's known that the Debian project is all about food.
Nice godwin point BTW

In the expulsion notice, it was claimed that I "disrupted" the project by requesting kosher food at DebConf 2006. The leadership team, mainly Germans, told me a bunch of lies about the food, the kitchen, and so on. They were proven liars when a kind person spoke to the kitchen and ensured that every meal included a kosher option for everyone.

I requested kosher food at the conference. I was lied to in a way that was really blatant. I could tell they just didn't want to accomodate me and were trying some misdirection. I pointed out that the organizers statements either made them liars, or made the kitchen chef incompetent.
When I saw they weren't going to be swayed, I stopped talking about the matter. I travelled to Mexico with the intention of eating the fine local cuisine outside of the conference, at my own expense.
When I got to the conference, I noticed that every meal did have an acceptable option.
A few days later, one of the organizers took me aside and mentioned that he had lived in an Orthodox Jewish neighborhood, and understood how important it was. He had a word with the kitchen before the conference began, and they had made a slight change in the menu to accomodate me. I was thankful and grateful to this man.
I thought the matter was settled. Then it was brought up at my expulsion as being a disruption.
I make no secret that I like OpenBSD. Many people find Theo deRaadt abrasive. But you always know where you stand with him. He doesn't put up with lies, dishonesty, and half-truths.
If insisting on honesty and respect is "disruption", then I am well-quit from Debian.
