[Ffmpeg-devel] [PATCH] Staticising mpeg12data header

[Derk-Jan Hartman]

Dear Rich,

this is not about your opinion about xine, vlc player, it's about  
your attitude towards Diego.
Just one of the examples, i'm not even bothering with the other parts  
of the mail.

Your argument is basically that everyone that does not buy a  
Koningsegg is stupid for not buying one of the fastest cars ?
Some ppl just have different priorities then you have and there is no  
reason why a lot of those priorities shouldn't be able to co-exist  
just fine in ffmpeg, including those of Diego.

Please keep your closed mindness to yourself and make useful comments  
instead. The latter is much more appreciated by the ppl who TRY to  
get anything committed in ffmpeg. Some FFMPEG devs keeps ranting that  
ppl should submit patches if they want to fix or add things, only to  
greet those ppl the next day by calling them idiots. It's rude and  
it's getting more annoying by the day. It's that I have an interest  
in ffmpeg development that I try to follow the list, but the  
annoyance of some people is making me consider to leave the list. I  
have NEVER had to consider leaving a public community just because  
some ppl are acting like dicks, but I am now.

To Diego: Let him rant !!! You are definitely no more an idiot than  
he is.
