This is not the case: one member of a community chooses to do something on which community doesn't agree. So community decides to not follow his member and *let him do what he wants by his own*. Debian should not do everything a single developer wants to do; as a community we have to find a general consensus on our policy. If we think that some action (like packaging sexist material) is offensive for out principles (yes, me may have more principles other free software) we can decide to try to stop that action. Debian is a community not just a set of independent members (at least this is what i'll like it to be) my just 2 cents for my very first post :-)

Know what you're advocating, and consider its > implications. First: You need to understand that nobody stop you to do anything by your own. Make your debs and put in your homepage, take your responsibilities it's ok. This does not imply I can't press our community to exclude distributing that package (we've done the same thing in other cases) Second: Please justify what you say when reply. 2Â again.
