That is not true, you act according to your own best judgement,
regardless of where the majority lies.

Note that I do not expect you to act according to majority opinion
(whatever that may be) but if you think you do, you are mistaken.

That is not true, you are a bully.

For example, you have been bullying me at every opportunity ever since I
dared stand up to you because of your refusal to improve your spelling.
Afterwards it seemed like you were trying your very best to make sure I
regretted standing up to you.

You have bullied Andreas ?man after he made another attempt at
resurrecting the AAC decoder, threatening to revoke his account.
He made a good faith attempt to do the right thing, now he is
discouraged from further working on it.

More examples could be found, but that's beside the point.  You may not
feel like you're a bully, but I can assure you that the people on the
receiving end feel different and that few people dare stand up to you.

This constant bickering against root is nonsense.  None of the roots has
ever taken such a decision.  Also, you intentionally commingle three
very different persons during your infamous root@ rants.  I fail to
understand why.

Hey, I review patches all the time! ;-)

While it's true that you do most of the heavy lifting, there are a few
others that do in fact review patches even though it's mostly patches
that fall into their area.
