I act according to the majority on the mailinglist normally, i guess you
might be able to find exceptions but this isnt that common. And certainly
never when it comes to organisatorial things like crating mailinglists, 
i might ignore a majority if its about code and sufficiently silly.
Root HAS ignored an overwhelming majority when there was a vote on uotis
account.

Iam not on IRC. The majority there might differ.
If noone speaks up on the mailinglist i decide the way i think its best.
Thats still majority though (everyone else abstains)
If people dont speak up here, they shouldnt complain later.

hmm, if you see it that way, i must say i did not conciously intend to bully
you or anyone else. But i must say that you and mans did not skip an
oppertunity to bully me about the spelling.
Its strange how you attack others, that being me, ivan, arpi in the past
but then complain if someone like ivan turns around and fights back.
arpi left, do you plan to bully me until i leave as well?

also i feel people should send me a mail and complain if they think i treat
them unfairly. I dont remember anyone ever complained to me until now ...

huh? i did not threaten him with revoking his account
i just (possibly in a somewhat aggressive) way pointed at the fact that
changing files by svn add is a svn policy violation. He never asked
about this before on the soc mailing list, which i think would have
been at least appropriate for such a controversal change. Again
not all people are on IRC

Thank you for making me responsible for him not working on the code.
The last he said in the thread was:
"

I agree on that. I'll continue to work with the aac-decoder in the
current repo. First thing is to fix the current known bug.

Secondly, the small annoying bugs that's I initially imagined
would be "fixed" by an audio API could be fixed quite easy anyway.
"

this doesnt sound like i scared him away to me ...

* non creation of the win32 mailinglist
* not following democratic vote on mplayer-dev-eng about uotis account
* not creating the ffmpeg-issues mailing list when i and luca asked

iam sure i could find more ...

help me with reviewing the mms patch please, i would love to see mms support
in svn but i think the patch needs some heavy cleanup especially in the
sense of removing the state machine or at least limmiting its spread over
the files
