[FFmpeg-user] This is totally out of line / should not happen / is a reason for moderation on this list.

[Phil Rhodes]

 This is not the first time that behaviour on this list has led to someone posting a desperate plea for moderation.
Some time ago, a lot more people posted here. To some extent the recent reduction in traffic is, I suspect, due to ffmpeg's increasing maturity, but I wouldn't be surprised if some of it were due to the domination of the list by some incredibly caustic personalities.
It's really hard to imagine anything positive coming out of any contribution to this list when more or less every question asked or idea aired receives the same miserable response from the usual suspects.
