The Debian project leader election

His claim of censorship is because his blog was removed from Debian Planet (only spam gets removed from the mailing lists). The post he's referring to seems to exist solely to stir up more trouble on an already hot topic. In order to stir up that trouble, his post makes a lot of accusations that are outright false, such as claiming there was no previous contact with Norbert or that the "mistake" was a one-time occurrence.

His claim that he wasn't considered a "serious candidate" is also interesting because, as mgedmin mentioned, he's not DD and not eligible for DPL. Additionally, he's making an assumption that Lamby's statement was directed toward him—a statement that I believe was clearly directed toward DDs.

A majority of his recent posts center around berating the entire Debian community, using lies and partial facts in order to reinforce his rants. This all carried over rather cleanly to his proposed platform, which just sounds like another long-winded rant. The only points of his with any value are issues that are already being discussed (DPL Team, DAM Review/Oversight, etc.).

One of his rant-points [1] is particularly interesting because his proposed platform and recent blog posts are exactly the sort of "condescending, degrading and generally abusive communications" that he's referring to.

The rest of the candidates that popped up all seem like quality people that would work in the spirit of Debian to keep pushing the project forward. I'm excited to see the election results.
