I'll confirm what other people have said - this is basically a conversation
which has been continuing on this mailing list for years, even decades.
I don't know what's really behind it - I've often wondered whether there's
neurodevelopmental disorders at play, whether it's a language problem, whether
there's some strange in-out group dynamic going on, or some combination of the
three. Absolutely no basic politeness, much less professional courtesy, is
shown to anyone of any level of expertise in any field except for a very
narrowly-defined in-group.
That holds back projects exactly like ffmpeg because reasonable people who
might have felt the need to be helpful are so quickly alienated. The fact that
nothing is ever done about it is horrible, but it is what it is; this sort of
thing is why the open source software world has such an appalling reputation
for being so brutally hostile.

Lose the insulting rhetoric and you'll get more respect.
