Having a meeting between people to talk about a common goal like FFmpeg makes sense.

I remember such a IRC session before the libav fork. It is very similar to this here 4+ people, who simply accuse me of everything (on IRC though) this serves no purpose. There is no common ground here As long as the people belive or claim iam the cause for them attacking othe= rs (and everything else) there is nothing to discuss.

(in fact out of teh blue, there was nothing triggering that) And the CC taking no action. The people are not warned, they are not moderated they are not banned. Instead iam being asked to join a chat. This is something i may have considered if for example i saw the people attacking me being banned. As is. No, i see not the slightest sign of the CC doing its job or providing a neutral or normal environment. If the CC is not able or willing to do that on the ML, then it wont on IRC either I will not subject myself to this. Everyone can just take a paper write my name on it and accuse and screem towards it, thats gonna do the exact same. thank you [...] --=20 Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB Any man who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust and willingly= =20 accepts the penalty by staying in jail in order to arouse the conscience of= =20 the community on the injustice of the law is at that moment expressing the= =20 very highest respect for law. - Martin Luther King Jr --uO4EFnxUhlIaq10h Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iF0EABEKAB0WIQSf8hKLFH72cwut8TNhHseHBAsPqwUCZ5aKMwAKCRBhHseHBAsP qzUYAJ931D7YG5210UmwJprgbZPhBP85lgCeJPMBNbfoRTxb8W83Ohj3RYjYUGA= =IENv -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --uO4EFnxUhlIaq10h-- --===============5248340312460869987== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-request@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe". --===============5248340312460869987==--
