Hi Marc I can only reiterate the regrets you've already received and assure you it was ever thus and it's not your fault. For the benefit of any new people or anyone who reads this thread in future, ffmpeg is for every practical purpose a Linux-community project. The Linux community is notorious for its incredible intolerance and inexcusable rudeness. It is common, even normal, on this mailing list. I have been hugely dismayed by this situation for many years but I'm not convinced there's much that can be done about it; it happens with the tacit approval, even the encouragement, of the people who run the project and there is no mechanism to correct it. Look at Linus Torvalds' own reputation; that's the role model. They think that's good. They actually believe it's appropriate professional behaviour; that's the kind of people you're dealing with.
Huh.No, this is not normal Linux community behaviour. Maybe it is normal here, but it is not normal in the channels where I participate, and I do a lot of support for new (or not) users. On some of the channels a rude person is expelled by the moderators.
Linus Torvalds maybe rude - I don't know, I don't participate where he is, but like many I have seen his explosions when they hit the fan - but that's an inner circle, not a support channel.
