Remember the notorious prostitution rumours, fight and violence against Ted Walther at DebConf6?
Well, there were drugs too.
After the recent Techrights defamation trial fooled a High Court judge, we have an obligation to reflect on this.

I don't know how people got onto the topic of speculating what drugs various people were using at the debconf formal dinner, but it seems really obtuse and highly speculative for no particular purpose than just to blahblah for the fun of it. I find such a discussion about things that were "probably present and maybe played some role" to be incredible wastes of bandwidth. If people want to discuss the potential variables of drugs, drink, red meat, sleep, caffeine, altitude, synesthesia induced by the mariachis, air quality affect, water, etc. please do it at your local pub with friends, where speculative gossip belongs, rather than spewing it all over my inbox like Montezuma's revenge. micah
