[FFmpeg-devel] [RFC] Removal of Valerii Zapodovnikov

[Thilo Borgmann]

Hi again,

> some of you might have realized that I've removed Valerii Zapodovnikov from our mailing list after [1].
> 
> I did this in my function as a mailing list admin because I think our guidelines for the mailing list are mandatory for everyone to be welcome here.
> Plain rejection of these guidelines makes you not welcome here by definition.
> Any bot would have made the same decision.
> 
> Let me point out that this case differs from the "usual" (sorry, dear community) personally offensive misbehavior against others which is "just" in conflict with parts of the guidelines - and shall be prosecuted by the community and not an admin.
> 
> That's my thoughts, as admin for this community. I made that decision and I stand by it.
> 
> Unfortunately, as this identity is reappearing, I think this mail is needed because I have just told him a second time why he got himself banned and will do so without further ado as long as this identity cares to come back.
> 
> However, I'm serving this community as an admin and I'm not free of error or misjudgement.
> Therefore,
> 
> - if another admin feels to overrule my decision, or
> - if enough trusted members of this community frown upon me in this thread to exceed my personal subjective limit...
> 
> ... then I will be totally fine to revoke any bans on that identity and release that one into our community.
> 
> Thanks,
> Thilo

I think we grant any defendant a statement which I received in a private mail. 
Attaching the original .eml:

"
You do understand that I inlined my answer "No" to you? I mean it can be 
recognised as trolling, maybe... But certainly not the BS that you did here, 
WHILE I was trying to help you because I thought .patch will not be recognised 
by patchwork, as it usually is if you do not configure MIME. This is disgusting 
behaviour coming from you, but this is not the first time and certainly not the 
last, this is Internet after all, where people like you (admins) think too much 
of themselfes, I DO EVEN KNOW WHO you are. I cannot be banned though, I am sorry 
I can just switch to one of my hundreds of mail accounts, hacked and not AS I 
DID on many other platforms from wikipedia to twitter (the last one, oogh, 3 
times, LOL).

It is not very comfortable for me to inline my anwsers on gmail for android as I 
always write on the run and I have to very carefully click in right spot and 
press enter. BUT it is certainly possible and I can even do it every time, but:

I do not need to send anymore patches so I will continue to "Plain reject these 
guidelines".

Bye.

P.S. please resend to mailing list, though I could have used one of my other emails.
"

No further comments on that from me.
