Behold, the favorite excuse of every tin-pot dictator ever.

So boiling down your verbal vomit, I get

     Yes, your democracy IS just pretend and I - the person who

     * tries very very hard to avoid as much human contact as possible
     * oversaw one of the most toxic FOSS communities for close
       to 25 years
     * through heavy-handed authoritarianism directly caused one of the
       most notorious forks in FOSS history

     really do know better than everyone else how to run a community.


To that I say:
* you are delusional, as you are the source or enabler of all the
   toxicity
* Libav had NONE of these problems (not saying it was perfect - it did
   have other problems, but not these)
* there is no hope for this project as long as you continue to hold the
   reins and I've wasted enough of my life on it.

If the democracy is just pretend, then above all, you certainly will
agree that my SDR code would have been pushed to git master.
It was not.


OH MY GOD, you are not bringing this up again! Ever heard of the expression
"the exception that proves the rule"? Think how much community outlash it
received and how much effort it took from EVERYONE to prevent you from
doing something NOBODY wanted.

You should really drop the "it's totally a democracy, except I can do what
I like" stance you have. Repeat after me

👏it's👏not👏a👏democracy👏if👏I👏can👏be👏judge👏jury👏and👏executioner👏

You are not him, and never will be.

Vittorio, this is not ok at all. I don't even know who "him" is, but the second half of this email is out of the line.

Please tone it down, or we will have to take action.
