Yeah, I was banned from posting to debian-user, in October or November
of 2014, by that bastion of debianism and proud systemd vote caster Don
Armstrong. As far as I know, my ban is still in effect.

And just so I'm not accused of libel, the following is the link to
Armstrong's assertion that he voted for systemd:

https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2014/09/msg01367.html

For interesting reading, read the link in Armstrong's post (warning,
big file), read Armstrong's explanation of his vote, and then go to the
top of the file to understand just how bogus the process leading up to
the vote really was.
