The problem I see ATM, is that we have accusations against me
for things i simply have not done.
(they also for obvious reasons have no reference to anything)
And for things i did do, that are presented widely out of proportion
of reality

A discussion on IRC could maybe make sense if someone checked what is
claimed about me first. But then i think we also would be able to
continue a more calm discussion here

We cannot really go into a discussion when both sides have wildly
different oppinions on what has or has not happened.

Also i must say it (in case i have not done priorly) What is
done in the last months, is mobbing

To clarify "explain what mobbing is" ->

    1. Workplace Mobbing
        In the workplace, mobbing involves a group of colleagues, managers, or subordinates targeting an individual with behaviors such as:

        Gossiping, spreading rumors, or ostracizing the person.
        Constantly criticizing or undermining their work.
        Excluding them from meetings or decisions.
        Using intimidation, humiliation, or passive-aggressive tactics to isolate them.
    This can lead to stress, decreased productivity, and even serious mental and physical health issues for the targeted individual.

This is a very surprisingly accurate list for the fact i just asked
what mobbing is (and this also applies to what was done to thilo)

I dont think starting with a list of accusations against me and then
discussing about this, or how i "caused it", is the way to handle this.

About people pointing to me as the cause of something they do.
Given iam in this project for over 20 years and iam the main author and
we had a fork long ago. With many people joining back together. There are
people who have had past hate and present hate towards me.
Whenever there is an oppertunity, some will point to me as teh
cause.
It makes sense to look at these and ask "do they point to a real issue?"
is there something we can learn and improve or is this just dislike towards
me and are they just asking for me to be "hanged"/"removed".

And again, some of the things iam hearing, why people are upset, arent even
true.

I do belive one big part of some people leaving over the last years is that
they are not enough in power.
And a linux like model where they would maintain a subsystem as the
final authority in their own repository would have avoided them leaving.
Iam sure everyone will disagree about this, its just what my feeling tells
me because it works in linux much better than in ffmpeg.
But then, this is off topic here

thx
