Err, I think that it is obvious why:

1) The questions were not answered back then. Calling the people asking 
questions troll is not answering, it's insulting.

2) IBC came up today, in much the same way as NAB did.

I don't know about that. I mean, I did obtain an FFmpeg booth at SCaLE. A boot 
that Thilo unilaterally canceled because He could not attend. You know, 
instead of asking for volunteers. And when I brought that out here, I was 
called a troll.

And the CC apparently find that both the cancellation and insults were, at 
least except for the one member that resigned.

You are splitting hairs. They were using a booth designated FFmpeg and paid 
for as sponsorship to a non-profit for their own commercial interest. This is 
legally and fiscally sketchy. And presumably the "relatively common practice at 
NAB" is for multiple companies to share booths, or for the company to pay for 
a booth and host a non-profit, not the other way around.
