Some CC members believe it would be helpful for you (and maybe to others)
if we explicitly laid out some ground rules more explicitly, so let us try:
- you are entitled to any opinion or belief you wish to hold. We are no
thought police.
- you are allowed to express non-defamatory versions of these opinions when
it is relevant to the discussion, or in new discussions, on our mailinglist.
- you are explicitly asked to *not* derail ongoing (e.g. technical)
discussions with these opinions where they are not relevant; do not bring
up Libav-vs-FFmpeg history or other us-vs-them conspiracies.

The CC has previously requested that you refrain from such conduct [1].
Therefore, we have decided to remove your mailinglist participation
privilege for 2 weeks.

Yours,
the CC [Ronald, JB & James supporting the decision and Michael dissenting]
(Michael mentioned that he is in favor of pointing out the "negative
interactions" but only for a ban if a further "negative interaction" occurs
after that.)
