YOU LITERALLY DO THIS TO EVERYONE WHO RESPONDS TO YOU

You do not intend to win an argument with reason, you mean to tire the
opposing side by tirelessly draining the energy of the counterparty with
essay long replies,
In other words, you're filibustering any reasonable change and improvement
in this community, it's a net negative help!

I am not willing to play your game, and I don't think this community should
either! You claim democracy is a bad model for ffmpeg stewardship, but it's
the only thing that is keeping certain members in the community, and
letting this kind of abuse happen at every discussion. Just please be
better and just stop sending overly long emails with skewed rehashing of
the past or with wrong interpretations of the concept of community,
democracy, and software maintenance.
