"Riddell: In order to make a public statement on a legal matter the CC
would have to have a legal expert familiar with international law and
the laws of several countries. I do not feel qualified to make any
such public statement. I also would like to say that public thrashing
about on the topic does not help the situation either."

ask you to be more respectful of the people trying to sort through the
issue."

"I wanted to send you a quick email to let you know the CC has
received your email and the one directly from Jonathan. We have a
few members who are not on-line currently and have not read the
email so I can not speak for them, but do you feel that a meeting
with the Kubuntu Council and the Community Council would be a good
step forward in this matter?"

"I am sure a meeting would be useful to clarify the situation,
but personally I am not happy with the threat issued to Jonathan,
I think this would need to be resolved before we meet."

"If the CC wants to have a discussion about a non-catastrophic
path forward, I think that would be wonderful, but I for one will
not be involved in such discussions what [sic] Jonathon is under
immediate threat."

"Blue-headed stepchild" appears to be a play-on-words of "red-headed
stepchild": [A][B][C][D]

[A] I wasn't familiar with either phrase.  I tracing the origin
backwards via the following sequence of posts below.[B][C][D] There
maybe other origins, but this is what I found to help me understand.

"We handle that very well, I think, though occasionally some muppet
calls Kubuntu the blue-headed-stepchild etc etc."

"Kubuntu, the Blue-headed Stepchild"
https://jontheechidna.wordpress.com/2008/10/09/kubuntu-the-blue-headed-stepchild/
"I do not find fault with Canonical/Ubuntu does to invest in
KDE/Kubuntu, but rather with what they (don’t) do in neglect of
KDE." "… becomes hard to do when the maintainers of other packages
routinely neglect the needs of Kubuntu, the Blue-headed stepchild."

"Or come out right and admit that Kubuntu is the figurative
"red-headed stepchild" of the *buntu family."
