Sorry, but this is not true. Yes, Michael always offers to mend ways
and to do this and that. But he never does. It's just lip service.
He didn't do it before the split and he didn't happen after the split.
Yes, the people at libav are bitter. Yes, they are angry. But how
would you feel if people would walk up to you at random OSS events
and tell you that X just told them you are the bad guy, that you
steal childrens ice cream? (Yes, this has happend)

If you mean me by "others", then i would like to ask where i have been
impolite.

You know, that FFmpeg and libav have been cooperating ever since the
split? FFmpeg merges all (or almost all?) patches commited to libav
without further review. libav (as a project) does not make any fuss
on that, because that's how OSS works. But you got it right that
libav people are averse to constant insults and badmouthing.
