Because you regularly commits stuff that you very well know is
controversial. You could do like everyone else, send a patch, wait a
bit, then commit. But you don't, and as I can hardly believe that your
understanding is so impaired, it can only be for the shake of trolling.

I'm not often very active on MPlayer as I have other projects I work on,
still as a maintainer I somewhat follow what is happening here, and your
obvious disregard of any rule is well documented. I think we all hoped
you would improve your behaviour with time, sadly nothing changed and
it's getting worse.

As you might have noticed I'm not the only one who think your behaviour
is not tolerable anymore. And the problem is not this very commit, but
your stubbornness in refusing to even considering changing your
behaviour. Up to now in this thread we have had: 1 dev threatening to
leave, 1 to fork, and 2 that asked for suspension of your svn account.
Now seeing that you just seems to think such trivialities doesn't
matter, you can add me to those voting for the suspension of your svn
account.

Stop trolling and realise that ppl only tolerated your behaviour up to
now. If you are too dim to understand that when you constantly push the
boundaries of tolerance, you should expect some back fire, I can't help
you.
