Behold, the favorite excuse of every tin-pot dictator ever.

So boiling down your verbal vomit, I get

    Yes, your democracy IS just pretend and I - the person who

    * tries very very hard to avoid as much human contact as possible
    * oversaw one of the most toxic FOSS communities for close
      to 25 years
    * through heavy-handed authoritarianism directly caused one of the
      most notorious forks in FOSS history

    really do know better than everyone else how to run a community.


To that I say:
* you are delusional, as you are the source or enabler of all the
  toxicity
* Libav had NONE of these problems (not saying it was perfect - it did
  have other problems, but not these)
* there is no hope for this project as long as you continue to hold the
  reins and I've wasted enough of my life on it.
