You first come around spreading venom, malice and hatred and polarizing
FFmpeg project as a whole.
No you are not polite, you are mischievous and are targeting multiple
people at once.

Just leave, if you have nothing constructive to say or help other users or
are not intending to send patches or constructive feedback. And no,
criticizing project out of proportions is not constructive feedback.

Yes. You are putting real problematic user of this mailing list in same
basket with FFmpeg developers and than claiming that all FFmpeg developers
and contributors are behaving like this or even worse that all Unix
community is like this.

What is real your goal to achieve with this?

Do you even use ffmpeg or its libraries at all and how?
