OggPCM and OggYUV are projects I initiated and maintain as a subset of the 
OggStream project.  I opened them to feedback from the wider Xiph community, 
require that they be supported by the maintainers of other Xiph projects who 
will be effected by them, and seek a rough consensus among knowledgeable 
parties.  However, I am setting guidelines for design decidions and, if a rough
consensus cannot be reached between competing concepts, I am the one to make the 
end decidion regarding their design.


Since you want to make a public display of your behavior, I'll be equally as 
public: your continued disrespectful behavior toward myself and, through 
displaying it in a public forum on lists.xiph.org, the Xiph community, must 
stop.  I encourage you to provide technical input toward design decidions as 
long as you can do so respectfully, but do not continue your current behavior.
